Quality Control

Our 3-Methoxy-4-Hydroxybenzyl,4'-Methylbenzyl Ketone is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistent composition. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a 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 flames.
