Quality Control

Our Methy Benzyl Butanedioic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed results for parameters including assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics, supporting compliance with cGMP and other relevant industry standards for intermediate chemicals.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric humidity.
