Quality Control

Our 1-Octadecyl-3-Pyrrolidinemethanol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with every shipment, detailing all specifications and test results. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our customers in regulated industries.

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 hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product quality and stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
