Quality Control

Our 4-(3-Chloroanilino)-4-Oxobut-2-Enoic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and conformity to specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment. We are committed to meeting the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
