Quality Control

Our 4-Biphenyl-3'-Acetyl-Acetic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and scale-up applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider the use of a desiccant.
