Quality Control

Our 3,5-Dimethoxy-4-Hydroxyphenylmethyl Carbinol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for demanding applications like pharmaceutical synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container should be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere or with appropriate desiccants to prevent moisture absorption. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C.
