Quality Control

Our 3-Methyl-4-Phenylbutyraldehyde is produced and tested under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for industrial and research applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific 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 room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its property of being easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials.
