Purity and quantity is $250 per sample (1 unit) and raw powder purity is $200 for 50 mg, with results in 3 to 5 business days. Send the material sealed and labeled, with the label claim and the form it contains.
No. The $250 test covers identity, purity and quantity by HPLC with UV detection for purity and assay, and LC-MS for identity. Full testing to the USP Salicylic Acid monograph is available and quoted.
The monograph names 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, 4-hydroxyisophthalic acid and phenol, which come from the manufacturing process. HPLC separates and reports each one.
No. Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) breaks down to salicylic acid, but they are different compounds with different masses and HPLC retention times.
