Quality Control

Our 1,2,5-Trihydroxyxanthone is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as identity, assay, and impurity profiles. We adhere to relevant industry standards for fine chemicals, and custom synthesis and purification to meet specific client requirements are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
