Quality Control

Our 3',5'-Dibromo-2',4',6'-Trihydroxyacetophenone is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise specifications for research and industrial use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation to maintain optimal purity and stability. Keep away from incompatible materials.
