Quality Control

Our Homovanillyl Alcohol 4-o-Glucoside is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and residual solvent analysis to ensure it meets the exacting standards required for research and development. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent absorption of moisture.
