Quality Control

Our 5-Norbornene-2-Phenyl is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure high chemical purity and identity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee consistent quality and traceability for your critical 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 the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
