Quality Control

Our 4'-Hydroxy-7-Methoxyflavan is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR) for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and propensity to be easily oxidized, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation and to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
