Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Naphthalenesulfinicacid,6-Methyl-(8Ci) is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure compliance with high-purity standards suitable for research and industrial synthesis. Comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR for structural confirmation, is performed. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its nature as an easily oxidized compound, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation to maintain optimal purity and reactivity. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
