Quality Control

Every batch of Methyl 2-Hydroxy-3-(3-Hydroxyphenyl)Propanoate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Our products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure compliance with stringent purity and identity specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, chiral purity (if applicable), and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
