Quality Control

Our 2,4-Xylyl 2,6-Xylyl Disulphide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise specifications and consistent batch-to-batch reliability. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, isomer ratio, and key physical properties are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its property of being easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents, heat, and ignition sources.
