Quality Control

Our Chebulic Acid is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, UV), to ensure it meets stringent specifications for research and commercial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, heavy metals, residual solvents, and microbiological parameters are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C for long-term stability. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to minimize exposure to atmospheric humidity.
