Quality Control

Our 6-Hydroxy-3'-Methoxyflavone is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request to support your quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, prolonged exposure to light and air should be avoided. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen.
