Quality Control

Our Benz[A]Anthracene-1R,2C,3T,4C-Tetrahydro-1,2,3,4-Tetrol is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced techniques including HPLC, NMR, and chiral analysis to confirm identity, stereochemical purity, and assay. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
