Quality Control

Our 9,10-Dihydro-1,7-Dimethyl-2,6-Phenanthrenediol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all critical parameters. Our quality commitment ensures the material meets the high standards required for research and commercial synthesis.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and propensity for oxidation, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
