Quality Control

Our 5-Methoxy-1,3-Benzenedimethanol 97 is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the specified 97% minimum purity and consistent performance. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting all critical quality attributes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
