Quality Control

Our 2,4,5,7-Tetrahydroxy-1-(1-Oxobutyl)-9,10-Anthracenedione is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and 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 product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability and to minimize moisture uptake.
