Product Information
| Description: | Tetrahydroxyquinone (Tetrahydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone), an anti-cataract agent, is a benzoquinone with redox activity. Tetrahydroxyquinone can participate in the redox cycle with hemiquinone radicals, leading to reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
