Quality Control

Our (R)-2-Benzylsuccinic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and production. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for chiral purity, chemical purity, and identity are provided with every shipment.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect stability and handling properties.
