Quality Control

Our 6-Hydroxyflavanone is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

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