Quality Control

Our 1,2-Dihydroxybenzene-D6 is manufactured under strict quality systems to ensure the high chemical purity and isotopic enrichment required for sensitive analytical applications. Each batch is characterized by advanced spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques, including NMR, HPLC, and MS, to confirm identity, purity, and deuterium incorporation. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air and moisture should be avoided. For long-term storage, consider keeping the container under an inert atmosphere.
