Quality Control

Our 6-Hepten-2-One, 4-Methyl-, (4R)- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by GC or HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and enantiomeric excess are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
