Quality Control

Every batch of 2-(3-Hydroxy-4-Sulfooxy-Phenyl)Acetic Acid is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

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