Quality Control

Our 4-n-Butylphenethyl Alcohol is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay and impurity profiles.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using an inert atmosphere to mitigate potential oxidation.
