Quality Control

Our 2,3-Pentanedione, 4-Hydroperoxy- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch is characterized and tested to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, meeting the stringent requirements for research and process chemistry. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity (typically by HPLC or GC), identification (IR, NMR), and impurity profile is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its peroxide nature and sensitivity to light and oxidation, it is recommended to handle and store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability and to minimize decomposition. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials.
