Quality Control

Our (+)-Bourgeanic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and specific impurities is provided with every shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with customer specifications.

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 after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
