Quality Control

Our (-)-6-Chloro-3,5-Dihydroxy-2-Methoxy-5-Methyl-2-Cyclohexene-1,4-Dione is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and process chemistry. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a 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 by atmospheric moisture.
