Quality Control

Our 3-Hexylbut-3-En-2-One is produced under strict quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. Our quality system is designed to support cGMP and ISO standards for reliable supply to regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and strong oxidizing agents.
