Quality Control

Our (+)-2,3-Dihydro-4,8,9-Trihydroxy-2,3,3-Trimethyl-5H-Furo[3,2-B]Xanthen-5-One is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and chiral excess is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and propensity to be easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere), it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon for long-term storage and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
