Quality Control

Our 3-Methyl-7-Propylxanthine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and residual solvent analysis. We provide detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment to ensure full traceability and compliance with your research or development specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under dry conditions to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccator.
