Quality Control

Our production of 2-Acetyl-3-(4-Hydroxylphenyl)-Acrylicacid adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR and NMR for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and specific impurities. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and results is provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your quality requirements.

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 and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation and to minimize moisture uptake.
