Quality Control

Our 1,1-Biphenyl-2,2-Diol, 3,3-Dimethyl- is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency suitable for sensitive synthesis applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with full traceability are provided for all shipments.

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 sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
