Quality Control

Our 4-Cycloocten-1-One, 2,8-Dihydroxy-, (2R,8R)-Rel- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and process chemistry. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and chiral excess are provided with every shipment. We support custom synthesis and can tailor specifications, including purity grade (e.g., >95%, >98%, >99%), to meet specific project requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to exclude moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or storing under an inert atmosphere.
