Quality Control

Our 7-Acetoxy-8-Ethyl-7,8,9,10-Tetrahydro-1,4,6,8,11-Pentahydroxy-5,12-Naphthacenedione is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets exacting research and process-grade specifications. Comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

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