Quality Control

Our 1,2-Dihydroanthracene undergoes rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, and NMR to verify identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay and impurity profiles are available upon request for every batch.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be opaque or stored in dark conditions.
