Quality Control

Our [S,(-)]-2-Hydroxysuccinamide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for advanced synthetic applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profile is provided with every shipment.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
