Quality Control

Our 6-(Hydroxymethyl)Naphthalene-2-Boronic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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 sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent degradation.
