Quality Control

Our Benzophenone, 2,6-Dihydroxy-2-Methyl- (4Ci) is produced under stringent quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting critical quality attributes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
