Quality Control

Our 2-Benzoyl-4-Methyl-5-Aminobenzoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request, providing full traceability and compliance assurance for your quality protocols.

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 degradation from atmospheric moisture.
