Quality Control

Our production of Ketone, 1-Mercaptocyclohexyl Methyl Ketone adheres to stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity for sensitive applications. Each lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including GC, HPLC, and NMR to confirm identity and quantify impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and specific impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality management systems and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its property of being easily oxidized, this material should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to maintain stability and purity. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Keep container tightly sealed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
