Quality Control

Our 2-Hexanone, 3-Amino- (9Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assessment and structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized and should be handled and stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to maintain stability and purity. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
