Quality Control

Our 4'-Hydroxy-6-Methylflavone is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets high-purity research-grade standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

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