Quality Control

Our Ethanone, 1-(3-Hydroxy-2,3-Dimethyloxiranyl)- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical processes.

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 from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.
