Quality Control

Our (S)-o-(4-Methoxyphenyl)Glycidol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC, to ensure compliance with exacting standards for research and industrial use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity (typically ≥98%), enantiomeric excess (ee), and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
