Quality Control

Our 2-tert-Butyl-6-Isothiocyanato-5-Methylbenzothiazole is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements of research and industrial applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from heat, open flames, and incompatible materials. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be amber-colored or stored in light-resistant enclosures.
