Quality Control

Our 1-(2-Hydroxy-3-Methoxy-6-Methylphenyl)-2-Propen-1-One is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced techniques like HPLC, GC, and NMR to verify identity and potency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

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