Quality Control

Our 1-(4-Ethylphenyl)Ethanol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC/GC) and spectroscopic methods, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for every shipment upon request, confirming compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
