Quality Control

Our 3-(Hydroxymethyl)Pentane-2,4-Diol, Sodium Salt is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and impurity profiles. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with each shipment, detailing results from tests such as HPLC, titration, and loss on drying. We can supply material compliant with cGMP and ISO standards for pharmaceutical and industrial applications.

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 immediately after use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product quality and stability. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents.
