Quality Control

Every batch of Pentanoic Acid, (3,5-Dihydroxyphenyl)Methyl Ester (9Ci) is produced and analyzed under strict quality management protocols to ensure consistency and purity for research and development purposes. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request.

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). Due to its light-sensitive nature and potential for oxidation, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
