Quality Control

Our 1-Hexadecyl-3-Naphthalen-1-Yl-Urea is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation by FT-IR and NMR, and purity determination by HPLC. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which could affect product quality.
