Quality Control

Our Oxiranecarboxylic Acid, 2-Ethyl-3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and GC-MS, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting all critical quality parameters. We support cGMP compliance for pharmaceutical applications and can tailor specifications to meet specific research or project requirements.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
