Quality Control

Our production of 1(2H)-Naphthalenone, 3,4-Dihydro-6,8-Dihydroxy- adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), to ensure consistency and meet precise customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical quality attributes are provided with every shipment. We operate under a quality system designed to support applications requiring high-purity intermediates.

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). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, prolonged storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended for optimal long-term stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
