Quality Control

Our 7,4’－Dihydroxy－8－Methylflavan is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

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 light-sensitive nature and propensity for oxidation, prolonged exposure to light, heat, or air should be avoided to maintain product integrity.
