Quality Control

Our 2-Octadecylamino-1,4-Naphthoquinone is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and propensity to be easily oxidized, prolonged exposure to light and air should be minimized. For long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere.
