Quality Control

Our 4'-Methyl[1,1'-Biphenyl]-4-Ol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specific research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its nature of being easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
