Quality Control

Our 2-Heptanone, 4-Hydroxy-, (4S)- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for advanced synthetic applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and chiral excess is provided with every shipment.

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 hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation.
