Quality Control

Our (1R)-4β-[(R)-6-Methyl-5-Hepten-2-Yl]-1,2,3,4,4Aα,5,8,8Aβ-Octahydro-1,6-Dimethylnaphthalene-1α,5α-Diol is produced under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral HPLC and NMR, to ensure high stereochemical and chemical purity suitable for demanding synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic and spectroscopic data are provided to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry place. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture ingress.
