Quality Control

Our 2,5-Dichloro-3,6-Bis(octadecylamino)-1,4-benzoquinone is produced under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR). Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 sensitivity, the material should be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent oxidation and stored away from strong oxidizing agents.
