Quality Control

Our 3-(4-Acetyl-1-Naphtyloxy)-1,2-Propanediol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request. We can support development projects by providing material compliant with cGMP guidelines for non-clinical use.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be opaque or stored in dark conditions.
