Quality Control

Our 1α,2β,3β,4α-Cyclopentatetrol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity (typically ≥95% by HPLC), and specific tests is provided with 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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties. Keep away from incompatible materials.
