Quality Control

Our 2-Butanone, 3,4-Dihydroxy-3-Methyl-, (3S)- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications for identity, purity, and enantiomeric excess are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect stability and purity.
