Quality Control

Our Homofolic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, which includes results from HPLC, NMR, and other relevant analytical methods. Our quality commitment aligns with cGMP principles for pharmaceutical intermediates.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; ensure the container is kept tightly sealed in a dry environment away from direct light exposure to maintain stability and purity.
