Quality Control

Our Butyric Acid (D8) is manufactured and tested to meet the stringent requirements for isotopic and chemical purity in research applications. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment, chemical purity, and identity confirmation. Our quality system ensures traceability and compliance with relevant standards for high-purity reference materials.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent and high volatility, ensure containers are sealed and stored away from heat, sparks, and incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
