Quality Control

Our 2,3-Dimethylanthracene is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analysis to ensure high purity and consistency, with specifications typically meeting or exceeding 98% purity by HPLC. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request.

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 light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage and to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
