Quality Control

Our cis-4-Benzyloxy-2-Buten-1-Ol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, prolonged exposure to air should be avoided. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
