Quality Control

Our 6,15-Dihydro-6,15-[1,2]benzenohexacene-8,13-dione is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity, typically ≥97% (HPLC). Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity confirmation, and impurity profiles. We support research and development with custom synthesis and purity grades tailored to specific project requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, long-term storage under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) is recommended for optimal stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
