Quality Control

Our N,n-Di-sec-Butylthiourea is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identification, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and consistent performance in your application. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with every shipment and are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption and potential caking or degradation.
