Quality Control

Our 1,1,7-Trichloro-1-Hepten-3-One is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC/GC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be amber-colored or stored in dark conditions.
