Quality Control

Our (2-Oxo-Pyrrolidin-1-Yl)-Phenyl-Acetic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical R&D and fine chemical synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurities, and physical characteristics 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.
