Quality Control

Our 3-Pentadeca-8,11-Dienylbenzene-1,2-Diol is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay (by HPLC), identification (IR), and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
