Quality Control

Our 2-(3-Carboxyphenyl)Propionic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to meet the stringent requirements of our global pharmaceutical and fine chemical customers.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect product stability and handling properties.
