Quality Control

Our 1-Oxo-1,2,3,4-Tetrahydronaphthalene-2-Carbaldehyde is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We support cGMP and ISO 9001 standards for pharmaceutical and industrial applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a 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, sparks, and open flame.
