Quality Control

Every batch of 2,3-Butanedione Bis[o-(Trimethylsilyl)Oxime] is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure compliance with relevant industry standards for high-purity synthetic intermediates. Comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, is performed to verify identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and degradation. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
