Quality Control

Our 1-(2-(2-Hydroxyethoxy)-5-Methylphenyl)Ethan-1-One is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure high purity, identity, and consistency. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for every shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay and impurity profiles. Our quality commitment supports applications in GMP-aligned environments.

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 presence of hydroxy and ketone functional groups, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability and to minimize potential oxidation or moisture absorption.
