Quality Control

Our 3,3-Dimethyl-4-Phenylbutan-2-Ol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC/GC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure high purity and consistent identity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request. We adhere to cGMP standards where applicable to support our clients in regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, 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 flame.
