Quality Control

Our Ethane-1,1,2,2-Tetrol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, which includes results from techniques such as HPLC, NMR, and titration. Our quality commitment ensures the material meets the stringent requirements for research and industrial synthesis applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
