Quality Control

Every batch of 16,17-Dihydro-15H-Cyclopenta[A]Phenanthrene is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the product meets the high-purity requirements for research and synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) specifying identity, purity, and impurity profiles by HPLC/GC is supplied with each shipment. Our quality commitment aligns with cGMP principles for pharmaceutical intermediates where applicable.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to handle and store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability, especially after opening the original container. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
