Quality Control

Our 1,3-Propanediol, 2-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-(2-Pyridinyl)- is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

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