Quality Control

Our Butyric Acid, 2-Chloro-3-Hydroxy-3-Phosphono-, Trimethyl Ester is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters are provided and available upon request, supporting your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Keep away from strong bases and incompatible materials.
