Quality Control

Our Methyl (2E)-3-(3-Formyl-4-Hydroxyphenyl)Acrylate is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and GC-MS, to ensure high chemical purity and structural integrity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are provided for every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

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 sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
