Quality Control

Our 1,4,5,8,9,10-Anthracenehexone is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting specifications such as assay (HPLC), related substances, and physical characteristics is provided with every shipment to guarantee it meets your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its nature of being easily oxidized, long-term storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended for optimal stability.
