Quality Control

Our 2,6-Dimethyl-4-Methoxybenzyl Alcohol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with every shipment, detailing all relevant specifications. We are committed to meeting the stringent requirements of cGMP and ISO standards for our pharmaceutical and industrial clients.

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) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and heat sources.
