Quality Control

Our 5-(2-Formylphenyl)-Picolinic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and stringent control of residual solvents and impurities. We provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your specific research or production requirements.

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 sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to handle and store the material under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
