Quality Control

Our 3-Hydroxy-7-Methoxy-2-Naphthoic Acid Sodium Salt is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR for identification, and loss on drying, to ensure it meets exacting specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your quality requirements.

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 after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and performance.
