Quality Control

Our 1,4-Cyclohexanedione, 2-Acetyl-3-Methyl- (9Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided and can be tailored to meet specific customer or regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to the potential for diketones to be light-sensitive, containers should be opaque or stored in darkness.
