Quality Control

Our Isopiperitenone CAS NO 529-01-1 is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
