Quality Control

Our 2'-Hydroxyflavanone is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR). We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is light-sensitive (store away from light) and easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere). For long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to maintain product integrity.
