Quality Control

Our (+)-Norpatchoulenol is produced and controlled under a strict quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure high chemical and optical purity, with specifications typically meeting or exceeding industry standards for fragrance and research applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity (by GC/HPLC), optical rotation, and other relevant parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and is light-sensitive (store away from light). Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
