Quality Control

Our (1R)-1-(3-Methoxyphenyl)Ethanol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity determination by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for advanced synthetic applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming specifications for identity, purity, and enantiomeric excess.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (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.
