Quality Control

Our 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-1,4-Methano-Naphthalene-2,3-Diol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay (HPLC), enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles are provided and available upon request. We adhere to relevant industry standards for fine chemical intermediates.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at 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.
