Quality Control

Our 5,4'-Dihydroxy-6-Methyl-7-Methoxyflavanone is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and spectroscopic methods for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results is provided with every shipment.

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, prolonged exposure to light, air, or elevated temperatures should be avoided to maintain stability and purity.
