Quality Control

Our Sodium α-Hydroxycyclopentaneethanesulphonate is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification (IR, NMR), purity assay (HPLC), and control of related substances and residual solvents, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent absorption of moisture and potential degradation.
