Quality Control

Our 3-Hexen-2-One, 6-Hydroxy-, (E)- (9Ci) is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC/GC) and spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), to ensure high purity and consistent identity. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We support custom synthesis and can tailor purity grades to meet specific research or cGMP requirements.

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 sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
