Quality Control

Our 7-Nitro-Benzothiazole-2-Thiol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets high-purity standards for research and industrial use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurities, and physical characteristics is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and tendency to be easily oxidized, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
