Quality Control

Our 3-(3-Methoxyphenyl)-2-Methyl-1-Propene is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC/GC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all specified parameters. Our quality commitment supports compliance with cGMP and ISO standards for research and development applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. This material is easily oxidized and light-sensitive; prolonged exposure to air or light should be avoided.
