Quality Control

Our 4A,9A-Epoxy-4A,9A-Dihydroanthracene-1,4,9,10-Tetrone is produced under strict quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets exacting R&D and production standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch 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). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its properties as a strong oxidizer, store separately from reducing agents, combustible materials, and strong acids. Handle and store under an inert atmosphere if specified for the specific grade to prevent degradation.
