Quality Control

Our 2,4-Dimethoxy-3-Methylbenzyl Alcohol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical properties, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
