Quality Control

Our 3,4-Bis(Benzyloxy)Phenol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy. We provide detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications. Our commitment to quality supports applications from R&D to commercial-scale manufacturing.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, 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 store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
