Quality Control

Our Potassium Cyclohexanebutyrate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with key parameters including assay, impurity profile, and residual solvents. Specifications can be tailored to meet cGMP, ISO, and other relevant quality standards for pharmaceutical and industrial applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents.
