Quality Control

Our 2-Oxoadipic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and titration methods, to verify identity, potency, and impurity profiles. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product stability and performance.
