Quality Control

Our 4,4'-Di-o-Methylellagic Acid is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity (typically by HPLC), identification (IR, NMR), and other relevant parameters 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 place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, prolonged exposure to light, air, or elevated temperatures should be avoided to maintain product integrity. For long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere.
