Quality Control

Our 3-Ethyl-3-Hydroxy-2-Heptanone is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment to guarantee it meets the requirements for your specific application, from research to commercial scale.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using an inert atmosphere to minimize potential oxidation.
