Quality Control

Our Methyl 3-Amino-2-Hydroxy-5-Methylbenzoate 95+% is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency meet the specified standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

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 sealed to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from heat sources and incompatible materials.
