Quality Control

Our 2,4,2',4'-Tetranitrobiphenyl is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FTIR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets exacting customer and research-grade specifications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its nature as an easily oxidized compound, storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials.
