Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Heptanone, 4,6-Dimethyl-, (4S)- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure identity, purity, and enantiomeric excess meet the stringent requirements of research and production applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with specifications for chiral purity, chemical purity, and relevant impurities is available for each lot upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and concentration changes. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
