Quality Control

Our (2R,5S)-2,5-Dichlorohexane is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by GC or HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profile is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and bases. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and volatilization.
