Quality Control

Our Benzaldehyde, 2-Hydroxy-3,5-Bis(Hydroxymethyl)- is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay and impurity profiles. We support compliance with cGMP and other relevant quality frameworks for research and industrial use.

Storage

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