Quality Control

We supply 3-Methoxy-4-(Prop-2-Ynyloxy)Benzoic Acid in high-purity grades suitable for research and development. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request, detailing parameters such as purity, identity, and impurity profiles. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and traceability.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
