Quality Control

Our 3,5-Dimethylthio-2,6-Diaminotoluene is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic methods for structural confirmation, to ensure compliance with exacting industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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 nature as an easily oxidized compound, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation to maintain optimal purity and stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
