Quality Control

Our production of Cyclopropaneacetic Acid, 1-Carboxy-α-Oxo- (9Ci) adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical characterization, including HPLC for purity, NMR for structural confirmation, and Karl Fischer titration for moisture content. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

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 potential degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
