Quality Control

Our Methyl (6,7-Dihydroxy-4-Methyl-2-Oxo-2H-Chromen-3-Yl)Acetate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage or after opening. Keep the container tightly sealed in a dry environment to minimize exposure to moisture.
