Quality Control

Our 3,8-Dihydroxycoumarin is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets high-grade specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your project requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at 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.
