Quality Control

Our (R)-(-)-1,3-Nonanediol is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high enantiomeric purity. Each lot is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral HPLC, to verify identity, purity, and optical rotation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory requirements.

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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
