Quality Control

Every batch of Acridine-4-Carboxylic Acid is produced and tested under a strict quality management system to ensure consistency and reliability for your critical applications. We provide comprehensive analytical data, including HPLC purity, NMR, and mass spectrometry confirmation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for each lot upon request, detailing all relevant specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
