Quality Control

Our (R)-2-Oxiranylanisole is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC, to ensure high enantiomeric excess (e.e.) and chemical purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for identity, assay, and impurities are provided with every shipment. We adhere to cGMP principles for production relevant to pharmaceutical applications.

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). This compound is moisture-sensitive; keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to prevent hydrolysis and maintain chiral integrity.
