Packaging1 g, 5 g, 25 g, 100 g, or 1 kg in sealed glass bottles or chemically compatible bags (typically under inert gas).
Testing IndicatorsAppearance — Visual inspection; Purity — HPLC (area normalization, detection at UV-Vis ~254 nm or specific anthraquinone maxima); Identification — LC-MS (matching molecular ion [M+H]⁺ at m/z 395.2) and ¹H NMR (characteristic aromatic and aliphatic signals); Loss on Drying — Gravimetric analysis (heating at 105°C); Residue on Ignition — Gravimetric analysis (sulfated ash).
Storage NotesStore in a cool (<8°C), dry, well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly sealed and refrigerated. Protect from prolonged exposure to light and moisture. For best stability, store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon).
Lead Time10 days
A synthetic anthraquinone derivative. Utilized in research as a building block for DNA intercalators, pH-responsive fluorescent probes, and as an analogue in anticancer drug development (mitoxantrone-related structures). Its tertiary amine side chains confer pH-dependent solubility and DNA-binding properties.
