Quality Control

Every batch of Ketone, 3-Benzofuranyl Chloromethyl (6Ci) is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols. We ensure compliance with high-purity research-grade standards, with typical purity levels exceeding 97% (HPLC). Comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, is performed to verify identity, purity, and impurity profiles. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place 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. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
