Quality Control

Our 3-Butoxy-2-Hydroxy-1-Propanesulfonic Acid Sodium Salt is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting assay, impurity profile, and physical parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee consistency and traceability for your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after initial use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect quality and handling properties.
