Quality Control

Our Isoflavanone is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and spectroscopic methods for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

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 light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation and to minimize exposure to air upon opening.
