Quality Control

Our 2-(Hydroxymethyl)Pyridin-3-Ol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. We offer material suitable for research and industrial scale-up, with typical purity grades exceeding 95%. All batches undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and purity determination. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to ensure full traceability and compliance with your project 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 (typically 15-25°C). This compound may be hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container should be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric humidity.
