Quality Control

Every batch of 2-[Bis(2-Chloroethyl)Amino]-5-Chloro-p-Benzoquinone is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the identity, purity, and consistency required for research and development applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with batch-specific results from HPLC, NMR, and other relevant analytical techniques is available for each shipment upon request.

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). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
