Quality Control

Our 5-Methoxy-1,2,3,4-Tetrahydronaphthalen-2-Ol is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We offer various grades, including standard and high-purity (≥98%) material, tailored to your synthetic requirements. Comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, is performed. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at 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, sparks, and open flames.
