Quality Control

Our 4,4'-Dihydroxy-2-Methoxychalcone is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets high-purity research and industrial 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 under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, minimize headspace in opened containers and handle in a moisture-controlled environment.
