Quality Control

Our 2,6-Dihydroxy-4-(p-Methylbenzyl)Benzoic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, related substances, and residual solvents. Our quality commitment ensures the material is suitable for demanding research and scale-up applications.

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 light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize headspace in opened containers. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
