Quality Control

Our 1,3-Dimethylanthracene is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high chemical purity and identity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research and production requirements.

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). This material is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; for long-term storage, maintaining an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended to preserve stability.
