Quality Control

Our o-(2-Hydroxy-5-Methylbenzoyl)Benzoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity, identity, and consistency, meeting the stringent requirements of pharmaceutical and fine chemical applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at 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.
