Quality Control

Our 1-Amino-2-Naphthalenethiol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and NMR/IR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting purity, identity, and impurity profiles.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation and light, prolonged exposure to air or direct light should be avoided to maintain product integrity.
