Quality Control

Our 8-Hydroxy-4-(1A,2,7,7A-Tetrahydro-6,7-Dihydroxy-2-Oxonaphth[2,3-B]Oxiren-3-Yl)-1,2-Naphthoquinone is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are provided and can be tailored to meet specific project or regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to light and oxidation, prolonged exposure to air or light should be avoided to maintain product integrity.
