Quality Control

Our Methanediol, (3-Fluoro-4-Methylphenyl)- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. All products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, NMR, and mass spectrometry, to confirm identity and purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results are provided with each shipment and are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent oxidation and moisture absorption.
