Quality Control

Our Olivanic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and stringent controls for residual solvents and impurities. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results are provided to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and purity. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
