Quality Control

Our 1-[2-Hydroxy-4-(3-Methyl-But-2-Enyloxy)-Phenyl]-Ethanone is produced under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
