Quality Control

Our 1-Anthracenesulfonic Acid Potassium Salt is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation by IR spectroscopy and purity determination by HPLC, to ensure it meets precise specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
