Quality Control

Our trans-Tetraline-2,3-Diol is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to exclude moisture. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccant.
