Quality Control

Our Disodium Dimercaptomaleonitrile is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identification, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical characteristics, and test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider maintaining the material under an inert atmosphere to minimize oxidation.
