Quality Control

Our 1,9-Dihydroxyanthracene is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature (store under inert atmosphere), it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage or after opening to maintain stability and prevent degradation.
