Quality Control

Our 3-Hydroxy-2,4-Dimethyl-1-Phenyl-Pentan-1-One is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for advanced synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, enantiomeric excess (if applicable), and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment.

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 opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
