Quality Control

Our 3-n-Hexyl-7-Hydroxy-4-Methylcoumarin is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets exacting research and industrial-grade specifications. Comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurities, and physical characteristics are provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be opaque or stored in dark conditions.
