Quality Control

Our 2,5-Dimercaptobenzene-1,4-Diamine is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and related substance analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its sensitivity to oxidation and light, minimize exposure to air and direct light during handling.
