Quality Control

Our Barleriaquinone I is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic methods (NMR, MS) for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment.

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 and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation and to minimize exposure to air upon opening.
