Quality Control

Our 2,5,2'-Trihydroxy-4-Methoxybenzophenone is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by FT-IR and NMR. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with your specifications. Custom purity grades, including research and development (R&D) and commercial production grades, are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and tendency to be easily oxidized, prolonged exposure to light, air, or elevated temperatures should be avoided to maintain product integrity.
