Quality Control

Our 2,6-Naphthalenecarbodithioic Acid is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment, IR and NMR for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and heavy metals. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

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 sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
