Quality Control

Our 3-(2,3-Dihydroxyphenyl)Butyric Acid is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets precise specifications for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting batch-specific results 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 properties of being easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
