Quality Control

Our 4-Amino-2,3-Bis(Benzoyloxy)-4-Oxobutanoic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and high-purity standards for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with full traceability are provided for every shipment.

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 in a dry environment to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
