Quality Control

Our (R)-3-Buten-2-ol is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by GC or HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications for identity, purity, and enantiomeric excess are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, well-ventilated place. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, the container should be kept tightly sealed and away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
