Quality Control

Our Benzenepropanoic Acid, 3-Hydroxy-.Alpha.-Oxo- is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics. Specifications can be aligned with research-grade or GMP requirements based on customer needs.

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 and easily oxidized nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to minimize exposure to moisture and air. For long-term storage, consider using an inert atmosphere.
