Quality Control

Our 6,4'-Dihydroxy-7-Methoxyflavanone is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR). We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with your research or production standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and propensity for oxidation, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
