Quality Control

Our 2-Ethyl-7-Methoxybenzofuran, 97% is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the specified 97% minimum purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with batch-specific data are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be kept in amber glass or opaque packaging during storage and handling.
