Quality Control

Our 1,2,4-Cyclopentanetriol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide full traceability and support our products with detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA), which include data for chiral purity, assay, and impurity profiles. Specifications can be aligned with research or cGMP standards as required.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and potential degradation. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C.
