Quality Control

Our (2E)-3-(3-Formyl-4-Hydroxyphenyl)Prop-2-Enoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic methods for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

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 sensitivity to light and propensity for oxidation, it is recommended to handle the material under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
