Quality Control

Our (R)-1,2,4-Butanetriol Trimesylate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for advanced synthetic applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
