Quality Control

Every batch of 4-Ethoxy-3-Hydroxymethyl-Benzaldehyde is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency through comprehensive analytical protocols including HPLC, GC, NMR, and mass spectrometry. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment. Our quality commitment supports compliance with cGMP and ISO 9001 standards 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 (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
