Quality Control

Our Valeranone is produced under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity. Each lot is tested against comprehensive specifications, including identity, assay, and impurity profiles. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting the results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its nature as an organic compound that is easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation and to minimize headspace in partially used containers.
