Quality Control

Our α-Phenyl-4-Nitrophenethyl Alcohol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and propensity for oxidation, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
