Quality Control

Our 2,3-Bis(3,4-Dihydroxybenzyl)Butyrolactone is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep the container tightly sealed in a dry environment to minimize exposure to moisture.
