Quality Control

Our cis-2-Benzoyl-1-Cyclohexanecarboxylic Acid is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets the declared 98% purity specification and is free from critical impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity (HPLC/GC), and other relevant parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at 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.
