Quality Control

Our (3S,6S)-3,6-Octanediol is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high enantiomeric purity. We employ advanced analytical techniques, including chiral HPLC and NMR spectroscopy, for comprehensive characterization. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, enantiomeric excess, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area 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 stability and performance. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
