Quality Control

Our 2-Ketopimelicacid,>98% is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every 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 each shipment to guarantee compliance with your research or production specifications.

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 to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccant in the storage environment.
