Quality Control

Our 1-Methyl-2-Phenylcyclopropane is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment. We adhere to cGMP guidelines for the production of materials intended for research and development use.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use and stored away from heat sources and open flame. Keep under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to maintain optimal purity.
