Quality Control

Our 2-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)Propionic Acid is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets the high-purity standards required for sensitive applications like pharmaceutical synthesis. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles. For customers with specific regulatory needs, we can discuss compliance with relevant frameworks such as cGMP, ISO, or REACH.

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 property of being easily oxidized, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to maintain optimal purity and stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, and incompatible materials.
