Quality Control

Our Threo-5,6-Dodecanediol is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive analytical data including chiral purity (enantiomeric excess) and chemical purity determined by advanced chromatographic methods. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics are available for every batch and provided upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect purity and stability.
