Quality Control

Our 1-Naphthalenecarboxylic Acid, 7,8-Dihydro-7,8-Dihydroxy-, cis- (9Ci) is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure high chemical and stereochemical purity suitable for demanding synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request.

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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
