Quality Control

Our 5-Chloro-2-Methyl-4-Thiocyanatoaniline is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request.

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 sensitivity, the container should be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent oxidation and moisture ingress.
