Quality Control

Our 2-Phenanthrenecarboxylic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical quality attributes are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, the container should be opaque or stored in dark conditions.
