Quality Control

Our 1-(3-Oxo-3-Phenyl-1-Propenyl)Pyridinium Chloride is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, detailing all critical parameters to ensure 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 area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and performance.
