Quality Control

Our (R)-6-Chloro-2-Hexanol is produced under strict quality control protocols to ensure high chemical and optical purity. Each batch is characterized by advanced analytical techniques, including chiral HPLC, to confirm identity and enantiomeric excess. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, specific rotation, and impurity profiles are provided and available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be kept in the original packaging or amber glass until use.
