Quality Control

Our 2,4-Dihydroxy-6-Propylbenzoic Acid (4-Carboxy-3-Hydroxy-5-Propylphenyl) Ester is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR, to ensure it meets exacting research and industrial grade specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurity profile, and physical characteristics is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical applications.

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 light-sensitive nature and propensity for oxidation, the container should be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to maintain long-term stability and purity. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
