Quality Control

Our 2',4'-Dihydroxy-3-(p-Hydroxyphenyl)-Propiophenone is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and high-purity standards for research and development. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurities, and physical characteristics is provided with every shipment.

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 light-sensitive nature and propensity to be easily oxidized, prolonged exposure to light, air, or elevated temperatures should be avoided to maintain product integrity. For long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere.
