Quality Control

Our production of Benzenemethanol, 3-Hydroxy-5-Nitro- adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets exacting customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with every shipment, and we support compliance with global regulatory frameworks.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its properties of being light-sensitive and easily oxidized, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials.
