Quality Control

Our cis-Isocitral is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing including GC, IR, and NMR. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and specific 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 controlled room temperature (15-25°C).
