Quality Control

Our 2-Furanmethanol, Tetrahydro-3-Hydroxy-5-Propyl-, (2R,3S,5S)- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chiral purity. We employ advanced analytical techniques, including chiral HPLC and NMR, to verify identity, stereochemical purity, and chemical composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all relevant specifications are provided with each 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 (typically 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. Keep away from incompatible materials.
