Quality Control

Our Potassiumphenanthrenequinone-2-Sulphonate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and elemental analysis, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

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