Quality Control

Our 5-Norbornene-2,3-Dimethanol,Endo-cis-(6Ci) is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC and structural confirmation by NMR and IR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are provided for every shipment.

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 after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product quality and stability.
