Quality Control

Our Benzene, 1,2,4-Trimethyl-5-Nitro-, Radical Ion(1+) (9Ci) is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research applications. All materials are characterized via advanced spectroscopic techniques (including EPR and MS) to confirm identity and radical purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, purity, and spectroscopic data is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, this material should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Minimize exposure to air and moisture to maintain stability.
