Quality Control

Our 1,2,4,5,6,8-Hexahydroxyanthracene-9,10-Dione is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for all shipments, detailing key parameters such as assay and impurity profiles.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
