Quality Control

Our Sodium 4-Hydroxyphenylglycolate is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. All materials undergo comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and related substances. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C (refrigerated).
