Quality Control

Every batch of our 3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic Acid 11-Hydroxy-12-Oxoabieta-5,7,9(11),13-Tetraene-2α-Yl Ester is manufactured and analyzed under strict quality management protocols. We ensure identity, purity, and consistency through advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specification parameters is provided with each shipment to support your R&D and quality assurance requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is light-sensitive (store away from light) and easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere); therefore, containers should be flushed with an inert gas (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after each opening and stored under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability.
