Quality Control

Our 2',4',6'-Trihydroxy-3'-Methylbutyrophenone is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and propensity for oxidation, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
