Quality Control

Our n-Cyclohexylmethyl-p-Aminobenzoic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay (by HPLC), related substances, and physical characteristics is provided with every shipment. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our customers' regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
