Quality Control

Our 1,3,4,5-Tetrahydroxycyclohexanecarboxylic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation, purity assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are provided with every shipment.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
