Quality Control

Our 7,8-Dimethoxyflavanone is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR). We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications for traceability and quality assurance, supporting compliance with cGMP and research-grade standards.

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 light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
