Quality Control

Our (4-Allyl-2-Methoxyphenoxy)Acetic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

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 to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which could affect product stability and performance.
