Quality Control

Our Cyclopentanecarboxylic Acid, 2,3-Dihydroxy-, Methyl Ester, (1-α-,2-Ba-,3-α-)- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis, to ensure high chemical and stereochemical purity suitable for demanding research and development applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data (HPLC/GC) are provided to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect stability and purity. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
