Quality Control

Our (S)-Heptane-1,2-Diol is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity (typically by GC or HPLC), chiral purity (by chiral HPLC or polarimetry), and impurity profiles. We support custom synthesis and can tailor specifications, including enantiomeric excess (ee), to meet specific research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere to prevent moisture absorption and potential oxidation.
