Quality Control

Our 3-Pyridinecarboxylic Acid, 2-(Hydroxymethyl)- (9Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 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.
