Quality Control

Our (1R,2S,3R,4S)-1,2,3,4,5-Pentahydroxy-7-Methoxy-2-Methyl-3,4-Dihydro-1H -Anthracene-9,10-Dione is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to ensure identity, strength, and composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, chiral excess, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to support your research and regulatory needs.

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, long-term storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended for optimal stability. Keep the container tightly sealed in a dry environment to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture.
