Quality Control

Our 3'-Hydroxy-4'-Methylacetophenone is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and propensity to be easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
