Quality Control

Our Naphthalene-1,3,6,8-Tetrol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all quality parameters are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, prolonged storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended for optimal long-term stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
