Quality Control

Our 3-(4-Carboxyphenyl)Propionic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and identity confirmation by FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the specified 98% minimum purity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment, guaranteeing traceability and compliance with your quality requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at 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 performance.
