Quality Control

Our 4-Hydroxy-4-(4-Methoxy-3-Methyl-Phenyl)-Butyric Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements of our global clientele. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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 tightly sealed to prevent exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
