Quality Control

Our 2-(4-Chlorophenyl)Ethyl Isothiocyanate is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR/IR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong bases and incompatible materials. Due to the reactive nature of the isothiocyanate group, containers should be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere when not in use to maintain stability and purity.
