Quality Control

Our (S)-1-Phenyl-2-Propen-1-Ol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity (enantiomeric excess) determination by chiral HPLC or GC, identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, and assay by titration. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all relevant specifications to ensure compliance with your research and development requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C for long-term stability. This material is easily oxidized and light-sensitive. Allow the container to reach ambient temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
