Quality Control

Every batch of 3-(1-Oxo-2-Phenylethyl)Benzoic Acid is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide material that meets high-purity standards suitable for research and industrial synthesis. Comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry, is performed to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
