Quality Control

Our 6-Chloro-6-Heptenoic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, documenting all critical quality parameters. Our commitment to cGMP and ISO guidelines ensures the material meets the high standards required for research and commercial synthesis.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect purity and stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
