Quality Control

Every batch of 3-Hepten-2-One, (3Z)- (9Ci) is produced and tested under a strict quality management system to ensure consistency and reliability. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) that detail purity, isomer content, and impurity profiles, typically determined by GC, GC-MS, and NMR. Our quality commitment aligns with cGMP principles for industrial and research applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) in a cool (15-25°C), well-ventilated area, away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed and should be allowed to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture ingress and degradation.
