Quality Control

Every batch of 1-(4-Nitrophenyl)Glycerol is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the identity, purity, and consistency required for research and development applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as purity (by HPLC), identity confirmation (by IR/NMR), and impurity profile is supplied with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product stability and performance.
