Quality Control

Our 3-Bromo 2-Hexanone is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We support cGMP standards for applications requiring higher levels of documentation and control.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and reducing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 2°C and 8°C for long-term stability. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and volatility loss.
