Quality Control

Our 1,2-Benzenediol,4-Methyl-5-(1-Methylethyl)-(9Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request, providing full traceability and quality assurance for your R&D and manufacturing processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its nature of being easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage to maintain optimal purity and stability. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
