Quality Control

Every batch of 2,4-Dimethylbiphenyl-3-Ol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Our products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are 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 nature of being easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
