Quality Control

Our 2-(1-Hydroxy-2-Phenylethyl)Phenol is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, assay, and impurity profiling. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical quality attributes are provided and available upon request to support your regulatory and quality assurance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
