Quality Control

Our 2-[(Trimethylsilyl)Oxy]Deoxybenzoin is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high chemical purity and identity confirmation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and support your quality assurance protocols.

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 hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect product stability and performance.
