Quality Control

Our 7-(3-Bromophenyl)-7-Oxoheptanoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and heavy metals. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
