Quality Control

Our 4-Butyl-5,7-Dihydroxy-2H-Chromen-2-One is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We support custom synthesis and can tailor purity grades to meet specific project requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and propensity for oxidation, prolonged exposure to light, heat, or air should be avoided. For long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere.
