Quality Control

Our (Hydroxyphosphinyl)Lactic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay and impurity profiles. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our customers' regulatory requirements.

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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and stability.
