Quality Control

Our 8-(6-Hydroperoxy-3,7-Dimethyl-2,7-Octadienyloxy)Psoralen is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for research applications. All materials are characterized using advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at recommended temperatures of 2-8°C or as specified on the label. Due to its light-sensitive nature and propensity for oxidation, long-term storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is advised to maintain stability and potency.
