Quality Control

Our production of 1-(2-Furyl)Heptan-1-One adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC/HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and concentration changes. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
