Quality Control

Every batch of 3-(3,4,5-Trihydroxyphenyl)Acrylic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards for research and development use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
