Quality Control

Our 1-(5-Ethylpyridin-2-Yl)Ethane-1,2-Diol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral purity assessment, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for pharmaceutical and fine chemical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to guarantee supply reliability and batch-to-batch consistency for your critical processes.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
