Quality Control

Our 3-Ethyl-5-Hydroxy-2,6,7-Trimethoxy-1,4-Naphthalenedione is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistent composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and propensity to be easily oxidized, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability.
