Quality Control

Our 1',4,5,8'-Tetrahydroxy-2,6'-Dimethyl[1,2'-Bianthracene]-9,9',10,10'-Tetrone is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure consistent high quality and batch-to-batch reproducibility. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at 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, especially after opening the original container. Keep away from incompatible materials.
