Quality Control

Our 1-Acetyl-2,6-Dihydroxynaphthalene is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, identity, and impurity profiles. Our quality commitment aligns with cGMP principles where applicable, supporting its use in regulated synthesis pathways.

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 sensitivity to oxidation, prolonged storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended for optimal long-term stability. Keep away from incompatible materials.
