Quality Control

Our α-Hydroxy-4-(2-Oxiranylmethoxy)-Benzeneacetamide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and physical properties. Our quality commitment supports applications requiring high-purity intermediates for research and industrial scale production.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.
