Quality Control

Every batch of 9-(3,4-Dihydroxy-5-Methoxyphenyl)-4,9-Dihydro-7-Hydroxy-6-Methoxynaphtho[2,3-C]Furan-1(3H)-One is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure identity, purity, and consistency for your research and development needs. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay (HPLC), related substances, and identification is available for every shipment.

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 light and tendency for oxidation, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
