Quality Control

Our 3-(2-Thienyl)Benzyl Alcohol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing including HPLC, GC, NMR, and mass spectrometry to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your research and development requirements.

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 sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
