Quality Control

Our 13-Hydroxytridecylmalonic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the highest standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are provided and available upon request, ensuring full transparency and compliance with cGMP guidelines where applicable.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product quality.
