Quality Control

Our 4,5,7,8-Tetrahydroxynaphtho[1,2-B]Furan-6,9-Dione is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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 nature of being easily oxidized, long-term storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended for optimal stability. Keep away from incompatible materials.
