Quality Control

Our 5,7-Dihydroxy-3-Phenylcoumarin is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with batch-specific data are available upon request.

Storage

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