Quality Control

Our 4-Oxododecanedioic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. Our quality commitment supports applications requiring high-purity intermediates, from research to commercial-scale production.

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. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and strong oxidizing agents.
