Quality Control

Our (-)-1,3-Acenaphthenedicarboxylic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity determination by HPLC, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and process development. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity (assay), enantiomeric excess, and specific impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
