Quality Control

Our 6,4'-Dihydroxyflavone is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical characterization to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, which includes data from HPLC, NMR, and other relevant tests. Our quality commitment ensures the material is suitable for demanding research and development applications.

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 nature and propensity for oxidation, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation and to minimize exposure to air and moisture upon opening.
