Quality Control

Our 2-Bromo-(Diglutathion-S-Yl)Hydroquinone is produced under stringent conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency, suitable for sensitive research applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical characterization, including HPLC for purity and NMR for structural confirmation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) due to its properties of being easily oxidized and hygroscopic. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture ingress.
