Quality Control

Our 2-Hexene-2,3-Diol is produced and controlled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by GC or HPLC and identification by spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), to ensure high purity and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We support cGMP standards for pharmaceutical applications and can tailor quality protocols to meet specific customer requirements.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to minimize potential oxidation.
