Quality Control

Our Grandisol is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as chiral purity, chemical assay, and impurity profile. We support compliance with relevant industry standards for agrochemical and fine chemical intermediates. COAs are available upon request and can be tailored to meet specific customer requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use and away from heat sources and open flame.
