Quality Control

Our Dithiocarbonic Acid S-Potassium o-Benzyl Ester Salt is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for assay, impurities, and physical properties are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, 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 to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using an inert atmosphere to mitigate potential oxidation.
