Quality Control

Our 6,-Dimethylindan-4-Ol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC, GC, and NMR to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment. We support compliance with REACH and other global regulatory frameworks as required.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation.
