Quality Control

Every batch of 9-Hydroxyhexahydrocannabinol is manufactured and controlled under a strict quality management system. Our products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC-MS, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency meet the exacting standards required for research applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your regulatory and research documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) to minimize oxidation and degradation. Keep the container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from incompatible materials.
