Quality Control

Our 9-Acetylanthracene is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, documenting all critical quality parameters. Our commitment to reliable supply and traceability meets the stringent requirements of research and industrial-scale applications.

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 light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to handle and store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability, especially after opening the original packaging. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
