Quality Control

Our Ethanone, 1-(4-Hydroxy-2-Cyclopenten-1-Yl)-, cis- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis, to ensure it meets the high standards required for advanced synthetic applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting purity, identity, and impurity profiles.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container should be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to prevent degradation. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for optimal stability.
