Quality Control

Our 4-[(1S,6β)-3β,5β-Dihydroxy-1β-Methyl-4β-(1-Methylethyl)Bicyclo[4.1.0]Hept-7β-Yl]-2-Butanone is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis to confirm stereochemical integrity, and identification via spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR). Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
