Quality Control

Our (4'-Methylbiphenyl-3-Yl)-Methanol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting R&D and production standards. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and specification compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
