Quality Control

Our (R)-3-Phenylpropane-1,2-Diol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC, to ensure high enantiomeric excess (e.e.) and chemical purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided to guarantee traceability and compliance with your project specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 15-25°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent oxidation. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a low-humidity environment to avoid moisture absorption.
