Quality Control

Our (4'-Methyl-1,1'-Biphenyl-2-Yl)Methanol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity, the container should be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent oxidation. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
