Quality Control

Our 4-[Hydroxy(Phenyl)Methyl]-1,3-Benzenediol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, and residual solvent analysis. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for all shipments, ensuring compliance with your research or production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
