Quality Control

Our 4,4'-Azodibenzoyl Dichloride is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your research and production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent hydrolysis. Keep away from strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.
