Quality Control

Our 3,5-Dihydroxybenzyl Alcohol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment. We can supply material compliant with various customer-specific requirements, including research and pharmaceutical intermediate grades.

Storage

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