Quality Control

Our 1,3,4,5-Tetrahydroxy-2-Methoxy-7-Methyl-9,10-Anthracenedione is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets exacting R&D and pilot-scale requirements. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and propensity for oxidation, prolonged exposure to light and air should be minimized. For long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere.
