Quality Control

Our 5,8-Dihydroxy-2-[(S)-1-Acetoxy-4-Methyl-3-Pentenyl]-1,4-Naphthalenedione is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity verification and impurity profiling, to ensure compliance with research and development standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and chiral excess are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is light-sensitive (store away from light) and may be hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment. For long-term storage, consider inert atmosphere conditions.
