Quality Control

Our Butyryl Phosphate is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including purity assay and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
