Quality Control

Our Benzyl Alcohol, α-(Aminomethyl)-3-tert-Butyl-4-Hydroxy-5-Methyl- (8Ci) is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for research and industrial synthesis. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and impurity profiling, to meet exacting customer specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and relevant physical parameters is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 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) after opening to maintain stability and prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
