Quality Control

Our 11,11,12,12-Tetracyanonaphtho-2,6-Quinodimethane is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for sensitive electronic applications. Each lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR, and elemental analysis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature, the container should be kept in the original packaging or an opaque secondary container until use. For long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere to maintain optimal stability.
