Quality Control

Our 4-Acetyl-1-Naphthol is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. We provide detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles to support your quality assurance protocols.

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). Due to its sensitivity to light and tendency for oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
