Quality Control

Our (2S,3S)-2,3-Bis(Methoxymethoxy)Butane-1,4-Diol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for sensitive synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and enantiomeric excess are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption. Keep away from strong acids and incompatible organic solvents.
