Quality Control

Our production of 3-(3-(Trifluoromethyl)Pyridin-2-Yl)Benzyl Alcohol adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and GC for residual solvent analysis. We provide detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with customer specifications and cGMP guidelines where applicable.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and potential degradation.
