Quality Control

Our 3-Methylpentane-1,3,5-Triol, Sodium Salt is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identification, and impurity profiling. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical characteristics, and safety data are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and performance. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
