Quality Control

Our 1-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-1-Hexanone is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical characteristics, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

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 sensitivity, the product should be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to prevent oxidation. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
