Quality Control

Our 2,7-Dihydroxy-9-Fluorenone is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. Our commitment to traceability and documentation supports your regulatory and quality assurance requirements.

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. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
