Quality Control

Every batch of 2-(Hydroxymethyl)Isonicotinic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. We employ advanced analytical techniques, including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your research or production specifications.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect stability and handling properties.
