Quality Control

Our 2,6-Dinitro-4-Trifluoromethylbenzenesulfonic Acid Sodium Salt is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, impurities, and physical characteristics is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and handling properties.
