Quality Control

Our 7 - Hydroxy - 4 - (Hydroxymethyl) - 2H - Chromen - 2 - One is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
