Quality Control

Our 3-(4-Isobutyl-Phenyl)-Propionaldehyde is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC/GC) and spectroscopic methods, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized and should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and strong bases.
