Quality Control

Our Cresorcinol, 6-Ethyl- (5Ci) is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods and purity assessment by chromatography, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, assay, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory 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 nature of being easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
