Quality Control

Our Oxiranemethanol, α-Methyl-3-Propyl- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopy (NMR, IR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are provided for every shipment, supporting your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its epoxide nature and light-sensitivity, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability and to minimize polymerization risk.
