Quality Control

Our 8,9-Dihydro-8,9-Dihydroxybenzanthracene 10,11-Oxide is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity, suitable for research applications. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles. We adhere to ISO 9001 quality management principles, and our analytical methods are validated to meet the rigorous standards required for reference materials.

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 sensitivity to oxidation, prolonged storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended for optimal long-term stability. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
