Quality Control

Our (1S, 2R)-2-(Benzyloxymethyl)-1-Hydroxy-3-Cyclopentene is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chiral purity. We provide comprehensive analytical data, including chiral HPLC or GC analysis to confirm enantiomeric excess (ee). Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available for every batch upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to exclude moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
