Quality Control

Every batch of (R)-3-(1-Hydroxypropyl)Phenol is produced under strict quality management protocols. We employ advanced analytical techniques, including chiral HPLC, NMR, and GC-MS, to ensure high enantiomeric excess (ee) and chemical purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, chiral purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and traceability for your regulatory needs.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a desiccated environment.
