Quality Control

Our 1,10-Phenanthroline-5-Carboxaldehyde is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR/IR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

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 light-sensitive nature and propensity to be easily oxidized, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation.
