Quality Control

Our 2-Anthracenecarboxylic Acid, 9,10-Dihydro-4,5-Dihydroxy-7-Methyl-9,10-Dioxo- is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting research and industrial-grade specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

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, prolonged exposure to light and air should be avoided. For long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere.
