Quality Control

Our 1-Hydroxy-3-Methoxynaphthalene is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and propensity to be easily oxidized, prolonged exposure to light and air should be avoided. For long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere.
