Quality Control

Our Racemic-4-Hydroxy[2,2]Paracyclophane is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral analysis, to ensure consistency and compliance with research-grade standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and 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 hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
