Quality Control

Our 9,10-[1,2]Benzenoanthracene-2,3,6,7,14,15(9H,10H)-Hexaone is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research applications. All products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and MS, to verify identity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment.

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 light-sensitive nature and propensity to be easily oxidized, long-term storage under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a desiccator is recommended to maintain optimal stability and purity.
