Quality Control

Our 3,4-Dihydroxy-7H-Benz[De]Anthracen-7-One is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic methods for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request 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 place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and propensity to be easily oxidized, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation and to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
