Quality Control

Our 3-Methylpentane-1,2,5-Triol is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical characteristics, and test results are provided with each shipment and are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product quality and stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
