Quality Control

Our 2,6-Dinitroaniline is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced techniques like HPLC, GC, and NMR to verify identity and assay. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurity profiles, and physical specifications is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized, storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) is recommended for long-term stability. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to air and moisture. Recommended storage temperature: 2-25°C.
