Quality Control

Our β-Caryophyllone is produced and tested under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles, typically determined by GC-FID, GC-MS, and/or HPLC. We adhere to relevant industry standards for fine chemicals and can provide material suitable for use as a reference standard upon request.

Storage

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