Quality Control

Our (7R)-8-Ethyl-7,8,9,10-Tetrahydro-1,4,6,7,8α,11-Hexahydroxy-5,12-Naphthacenedione is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to ensure identity, potency, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, chiral excess, and related substances is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 should be kept in a desiccated environment to prevent moisture uptake. For long-term storage, consider sealing under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon.
