Quality Control

Our production of Naphthalene, 1-Methyl-, Radical Ion(1+) adheres to stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity for research and industrial applications. Each lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques, including NMR and mass spectrometry, to confirm identity and assess radical stability. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and stability indicators is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its nature as an Easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and Light-sensitive (store away from light) species, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C. Minimize exposure to air, moisture, and elevated temperatures to maintain stability and reactivity.
