Quality Control

Our 6-[(11R)-11-Hydroxydodecyl]-3-Methoxy-2-Methyl-1H-Pyridin-4-One is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to ensure compliance with research and pharmaceutical-grade standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, chiral excess, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
