Quality Control

Our 2-(trans-4-Pentylcyclohexyl)Propane-1,3-Diol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC, to ensure compliance with exacting research and pharmaceutical-grade standards. Comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical applications.

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). 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.
