Quality Control

Our 3,4-Dimethoxy-5-Hydroxybenzyl Alcohol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity, identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, and residual solvent analysis to ensure it meets stringent specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are available upon request to support your quality and regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
