Quality Control

Our α-Phenylpyridine-2-Ethanol is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. All products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to verify identity and purity against established specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
