Quality Control

Our 5,8-Dihydroxy-2-Methoxy-7-(2-Oxopropyl)-1,4-Naphthalenedione is produced 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 high-purity research-grade standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical R&D applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation to maintain optimal stability and purity.
