Quality Control

Our (+)-4'-Methyltartranilic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure it meets exacting research and production-grade specifications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) providing batch-specific data for identity, purity, and chiral excess is supplied 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). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture.
