Quality Control

Our 2,5-Dihydroxy-n-(2-Hydroxyethyl)Benzamide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and industrial applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area 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 absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product stability and performance.
