Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Cyclopenten-1-One, 4-Hydroxy-2-(Hydroxymethyl)-3-Methyl- (9Ci) is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure compliance with rigorous internal specifications, which are designed to meet the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

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