Quality Control

Our (S)-3-Phenoxypropane-1,2-Diol, 95% is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure it meets the specified 95% minimum purity and enantiomeric excess. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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 after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
