Quality Control

Our (4S)-3,4-Dihydro-4,8,9-Trihydroxy-6-Methylanthracen-1(2H)-One is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and chiral integrity, meeting the stringent requirements for research and development applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, chiral excess, and impurity profiles are available upon request.

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 to be easily oxidized, prolonged exposure to light and air should be avoided. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere.
