Quality Control

Our 3-Hydroxy-Tetradecanedioic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, which includes results from HPLC, NMR, and other relevant spectroscopic methods. Our quality commitment ensures the material meets the high standards required for research and commercial synthesis.

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 after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect purity and stability. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
