Quality Control

Our (1S)-7-Isopropylidene-1,2,3,3Aα,4,5,6,7,8,8Aβ-Decahydro-1β-Hydroxy-1-Methyl-4-Methyleneazulen-6-One is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, long-term storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended for optimal stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
