Quality Control

Our 2-(Dibromoacetyl)Naphthalene is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong acids and incompatible organic solvents. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be amber-colored or stored in light-resistant packaging.
