Quality Control

Our 1,4-Naphthalenebis(Trifluoromethanesulfonate) is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure high chemical purity and identity confirmation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee consistency and support your quality assurance protocols.

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 hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition.
