Quality Control

Our production of Benzenemethanol, -α--Methyl-2-[(Methylthio)Methyl]- (9Ci) adheres to stringent quality protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR/GC-MS for structural confirmation, to ensure consistency and reliability for your critical syntheses. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, enantiomeric excess (if applicable), and impurity profiles.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C. Due to its sensitivity, the container should be kept tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
