Quality Control

Our Benzenemethanol, 2-Hydroxy-Alpha,6-Dimethyl-, (Alphas)- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch is characterized and tested to ensure identity, purity, and enantiomeric excess meet rigorous standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, detailing results for assay, chiral purity (enantiomeric excess), and key impurities as determined by techniques including HPLC, GC, and chiral analysis. We support compliance with cGMP, ISO, and other relevant quality frameworks for advanced intermediates.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be opaque or stored in darkness.
