Quality Control

Our Sodium 3-(o-Nitrophenyl)Pyruvate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and residual solvent analysis. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for all shipments to ensure compliance with your research and production specifications.

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 each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
