Quality Control

Our 9,10-Dihydro-3,6,7,8-Tetrahydroxy-1-Methyl-9,10-Dioxo-2-Anthracenecarboxylic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and high-purity standards for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are 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 nature as an easily oxidized compound, long-term storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended for optimal stability. Keep away from incompatible materials.
