Quality Control

Our Cyclopentanone, 2,3-Dihydroxy-2-Methoxy-3-Methyl-, (2R,3S)- (9Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with each shipment and are available upon request.

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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
