Quality Control

Our 6-Methylquinoxaline-2,3-Dithiol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity, identity, and consistency. Standard quality parameters include assay by HPLC, identification by FT-IR, and control of related substances. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is available for each shipment upon request.

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 easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to handle and store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability, especially after the original container has been opened. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
