Quality Control

Our 2-Isocyanobutane is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay and impurity profile determination by GC or HPLC. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed and under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) when not in use to prevent moisture ingress and polymerization. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
