Quality Control

Our 1-(3,4,5-Trihydroxyphenyl)Hexan-1-One is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment and is 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 property of being easily oxidized, long-term storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended for optimal stability.
