Quality Control

Our (-)-7,8-Dihydro-β,5,6-Trihydroxy-7,8-Dioxo-1-Naphthalenebutyric Acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral integrity, to ensure it meets exacting research-grade specifications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) providing batch-specific data is available for every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

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 hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect stability and purity. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
