Quality Control

Our 3-Hydroxy-4'-Methylflavone is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and spectroscopic methods for structural confirmation (IR, NMR). We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing batch-specific results. Our quality commitment ensures the material is suitable for demanding applications in research and development.

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 and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
