Quality Control

Our 4-Hydroxy-Phenanthrene is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, and NMR for comprehensive characterization and impurity profiling. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and specific test results are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials.
