Quality Control

Our 1,4-Naphthalenedione, 5,6-Dihydroxy-2-Methyl- (9Ci) is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay (HPLC), related substances, and residual solvents, ensuring it meets the stringent requirements for research and industrial synthesis. Specifications can be tailored to meet specific project needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be opaque or stored in dark conditions. For long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere to preserve stability.
