Quality Control

Our D-Fenchone is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets the high-purity specification of 96% minimum, with identity confirmed by spectroscopic methods. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical properties, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and concentration changes. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
