Quality Control

Our production of 2,2',6-Trihydroxy-4'-Methoxy-4,6'-Dimethylbenzophenone adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets exacting customer specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment, and we support compliance with relevant global regulatory frameworks.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using an inert atmosphere to minimize potential oxidation.
