Quality Control

Every batch of (8R,9S,10R,11S)-Rel-8,9,10,11-Tetrahydrobenz[A]Anthracene-8,9,10,11-Tetrol is manufactured and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Our quality assurance includes comprehensive analytical characterization using techniques such as HPLC, NMR, and chiral analysis to confirm stereochemical purity and chemical identity. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting all critical quality attributes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place 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 the container tightly sealed in a dry environment to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture.
