Quality Control

Our (-)-cis-Myrtanol is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity. We employ advanced analytical techniques, including GC, HPLC, and chiral analysis, to verify identity, potency, and enantiomeric excess. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with customer requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and is light-sensitive (store away from light). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. For long-term storage, consider packaging under an inert gas such as nitrogen or argon.
