Quality Control

Our 6-Acetyl-5,8-Dihydroxy-1,4-Naphthoquinone is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and reducing agents. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be amber-colored or stored in dark conditions.
