Quality Control

Our [1,1'-Biphenyl]-3-Propanoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive analytical data, including HPLC purity, identity confirmation (IR, NMR), and residual solvent analysis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for every batch and provided upon request, detailing all relevant specifications to support your quality assurance and regulatory 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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
