Quality Control

Our 9-Hydroxy-2-Nonanone is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability. Recommended storage temperature: 2-8°C.
