Quality Control

Our (5-Butylthiophen-2-Yl)Methanol is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with each shipment, detailing all relevant specifications. We can support development projects with custom purity grades, from research (e.g., >95%) to high-purity (e.g., >98% or >99%) standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to exclude moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
