Quality Control

Our 3-Bromopropyl Isothiocyanate is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and production use. Each lot is analyzed using advanced techniques including GC, HPLC, and NMR to verify identity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation 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). Due to its hygroscopic and highly volatile nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition.
