TCI T1090 is Tetrahydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone Hydrate (CAS 123334-16-7), a quinone compound that carries four hydroxyl groups on its ring and is supplied in hydrate form. Quinones are well known as redox-active molecules, meaning they can accept and release electrons reversibly. In the laboratory, this compound is used as a non-heterocyclic building block and as a research material for studies in redox systems, coordination chemistry, and functional materials. It is supplied under the TCI brand and listed in the Building Blocks category.
The properties that make this material a preferred choice come from the combination of the quinone carbonyl groups and four hydroxyl groups, which can act as metal-binding sites. This structure allows the compound to form complexes with many metal ions and to serve as a bridging ligand in coordination materials. Its redox behavior is also attractive to energy-storage researchers, who study organic molecules as electrode materials. Because the product is a hydrate, amounts of substance should be calculated according to the information on the manufacturer's label.
In Indonesia, Tetrahydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone Hydrate is relevant to electrochemistry, materials chemistry, and coordination chemistry laboratories, including groups investigating organic-based batteries. The 5 g pack suits small-scale research work, where a modest quantity is enough for exploratory synthesis, ligand studies, and electrode material screening. Researchers can contact AMI Scientific to discuss their requirements before ordering.

Store the product in its original, tightly closed container, following the storage conditions printed on the manufacturer's label and in the safety data sheet. Keep it in a clean, dry, well-organized chemical storage area, away from incompatible materials and direct heat. Because the compound is a hydrate, avoid leaving the container open longer than necessary, and base any quantity calculations on the label information. As a general laboratory precaution, wear a lab coat, gloves, and eye protection, handle the material in a well-ventilated area or fume hood, and avoid generating dust. Consult the safety data sheet before use and follow your institution's chemical handling and waste disposal procedures.
