Quality Control

Every batch of (6S)-2-Methyl-6-(3-Hydroxy-4-Methylphenyl)-2-Hepten-4-One is produced under controlled conditions and undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and chiral integrity. Our quality assurance protocols are designed to meet the stringent requirements of research and development applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results, including chiral purity by HPLC, 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 controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and propensity for oxidation, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation, especially after the container has been opened.
