Quality Control

Our 3-Hydroxydecanedioic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics.

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 each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and stability.
