Quality Control

Our 3-(2-Methyl-Pyridin-4-Yl)-Hexane-1,5-Diol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and spectroscopic identification (NMR, IR, MS), to ensure it meets the exacting standards required for pharmaceutical R&D. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming identity, purity, and impurity profile.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and potential degradation.
