Quality Control

Our 1-Oxiranyl-1,2-Ethanediol Diacetate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and impurity profiles. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing results from tests such as assay (HPLC/GC), identity (IR, NMR), and specific impurity limits is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.
