Quality Control

Our Dl-2-(4-Carboxyphenyl)Propionic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets the high-purity standards required for pharmaceutical and research applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
