Quality Control

Our 2-[(Z)-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)Methylene]-6-Hydroxy-7-Methoxybenzofuran-3(2H)-One is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR). We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all specifications and test results to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or development requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
