Quality Control

Our production of 2-Heptanone, 4-Hydroxy-5-Methyl-, (4R)- (9Ci) adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC, to ensure identity, potency, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for chiral purity, chemical purity, and relevant impurities are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation.
