Quality Control

Our Anthralin 10,10'-Dimer is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic methods for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are provided with every shipment.

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 light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
