Quality Control

Our 2-[8-Hydroxy-3-(Hydroxymethyl)-7-Methyl-2,6-Octadienyl]-1,4-Benzenediol 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 exacting research and industrial-grade specifications. Comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test parameters and results are provided to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
