Quality Control

Our 6-Octen-2-One, 5-Hydroxy-, [S-(Z)]- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity and chemical identity verification, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, enantiomeric excess, and other critical parameters are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and highly volatile, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere and ensure containers are sealed immediately after use. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
