Quality Control

Our Butane-1,1,4,4,-Tetrol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by HPLC and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high-purity standards required for pharmaceutical and fine chemical applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, detailing purity, identity, and relevant physical parameters.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
