Quality Control

Every batch of 5-Fluoro-7-Hydroxymethyl 12-Methylbenzanthracene Acetate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC-MS, and NMR to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
