Quality Control

Our 1-Methyl-5,6,7,8-Tetrahydronaphthalen-2-Ol is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing including HPLC, GC, and NMR to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all relevant specifications. Our quality commitment ensures the material is suitable for demanding research and scale-up applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
