Quality Control

Our 2-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)Succinic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic methods for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and consistent high-quality standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request.

Storage

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