Quality Control

Our 3(20)-Phytene-1,2-Diol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high chemical purity and structural integrity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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 degradation from atmospheric moisture.
