Quality Control

Our 3-(3-Hydroxybutyl)Phenol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment. We can support development projects by supplying material compliant with ICH Q7 guidelines for active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) starting materials.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed immediately after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect purity and stability.
