Quality Control

Our 3,4-(Methylenedioxy)-5-Hydroxy-Benzylalcohol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided with every shipment. We support compliance needs for cGMP and ISO 9001 environments.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect stability and handling properties.
