Quality Control

Our production of 2,3,4,4A,4B,5,6,7,8,8A,9,10-Dodecahydro-4B,8,8-Trimethyl-2-Isopropylphenanthrene-2,10-Diol adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch is characterized and tested using advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, NMR, and IR to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation.
