Quality Control

Our (R)-3,4-Dimethyl-2-pentanone is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by GC or HPLC, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and enantiomeric excess is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong acids and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents. Due to its organic solvent nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed to prevent evaporation and minimize exposure to moisture.
