Quality Control

Our (R)-6-Methyl-3,4-Dihydro-3,8,9-Trihydroxyanthracen-1(2H)-One is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity determination by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity (HPLC assay), chiral excess, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

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 hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
