Quality Control

Our 4-Ethylphenylglyoxal Hydrate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements of research and process chemistry. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting purity, assay, and relevant physical characteristics.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, prolonged exposure to air and moisture should be avoided. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere.
