Quality Control

Our 9,10-Dioxo-9,10-Dihydrophenanthrene-2-Carboxylic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, guaranteeing traceability and consistent quality.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and tendency to be easily oxidized, prolonged exposure to light and air should be avoided. For long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere.
