Quality Control

Our 3-Methyl Butynol is produced and tested under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity and impurity profiles, guaranteeing reliability for your synthetic processes. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment. We adhere to relevant ISO standards and can support requirements for cGMP manufacturing where applicable.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability, though short-term storage at 15-25°C is acceptable.
