Quality Control

Our 1,7-Dihydroxy-1-Methyl-4-Isopropylnaphthalen-2(1H)-One is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request, providing full traceability and quality assurance.

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 handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
