Quality Control

Our α-Phenyl-α-Heptyloxyacetophenone is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. For customers with specific regulatory needs, we can support documentation requirements for cGMP, ISO, or other relevant standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be kept in amber glass or opaque packaging during storage and handling.
