Quality Control

Our 3,7,8-Trihydroxy-2-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-4H-1-Benzopyran-4-One is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

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 light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation. Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
