Quality Control

Our 3-Propylcyclobutanone is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopy (NMR, IR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and potential contamination.
