Quality Control

Our 1-(1-Hydroxy-4-Methoxy-Naphthalen-2-Yl)-Ethanone is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with key parameters including assay (HPLC), identification (IR), and impurity profiles. Our quality commitment ensures the material meets the stringent requirements for research and industrial synthesis.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
