Quality Control

Our production of 2-Heptanone, 4-Hydroxy-6-Methyl-, (4R)- (9Ci) adheres to stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high enantiomeric purity. Each lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques, including chiral HPLC, GC, and NMR spectroscopy. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, chiral excess, and impurity profiles is 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, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
