Quality Control

Our 2-(2,6-Dichloropyridin-3-Yl)Acetic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

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 to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
