Quality Control

Our 5-(4'-Amidinophenoxy)-1-Pentanol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept in a cool, dry place. For long-term stability, store at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon to prevent degradation.
