Quality Control

Our Benzenemethanol, 2-Methyl-α-Methylene- (9Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting batch-specific results are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at 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 flame.
