Quality Control

Our Dl-m-Hydroxymandelic Acid is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with key parameters including assay, chiral purity, and impurity profiles. While typically supplied as a standard fine chemical grade, production can be aligned with cGMP principles for advanced applications upon request.

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 to exclude moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, and strong acids.
