Quality Control

We maintain a rigorous quality management system to ensure the consistency and purity of our chemical products. Each batch of 3-Pentanone, 1,4-Dihydroxy- (6Ci) is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic and spectroscopic methods, to verify identity and purity against established specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment and is available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
