Quality Control

Our 2,6-Dibromo-1,5-Dihydroxynaphthalene is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are provided for every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to light and tendency for oxidation, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
