Quality Control

Our 3-Methyl-2-(p-Tolylazo)Benzothiazoliumperchlorate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets exacting standards. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance for your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
