Quality Control

Our 4-(2-Carboxyethyl)-4-Nitro Heptanedioic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and high-purity standards. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to the presence of carboxylic acid and nitro groups, it should be stored separately from strong bases, oxidizing agents, and reducing agents.
