Quality Control

Our 2-Henicosyl-4,5-Dihydro-1H-Imidazole-1-Ethanol is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC and GC analysis, to ensure high purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
