Quality Control

Our 3,7-Dihydroxytropolone is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistency. Specifications are verified by methods including HPLC, NMR, and FTIR. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your research and development requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and light-sensitive, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon for long-term storage and to minimize exposure to air and light during use.
