Quality Control

Our 2-Phenylcyclopentan-1-Ol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request, supporting compliance with cGMP and ICH guidelines for pharmaceutical applications.

Storage

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