Quality Control

Our 7-Hydroxy-3-Methyl-5-Isopropyl-1,2-Naphthalenedione is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications and results are provided and available upon request, supporting compliance with research and development standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. Due to its quinone structure, which may be light-sensitive, handling under subdued light is recommended for long-term stability.
