Quality Control

Our 2-(Isopropylamino)-1,4-Naphthoquinone is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR for identification, and residual solvent analysis, to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and industrial synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and propensity for oxidation, prolonged exposure to light, air, or elevated temperatures should be avoided to maintain product integrity.
