Quality Control

Our 2(5H)-Thiophenone, 5-Ethyl-4-Hydroxy-3-Methyl- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR). We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
