Quality Control

Our 5-Hexen-2-One, 4-Methyl- (7Ci,9Ci) is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment. We are committed to meeting the stringent requirements of research and development applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability, though short-term storage at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) is acceptable.
