Quality Control

Our Benzene, 1-Chloro-3-Isocyano- (9Ci) is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay (by GC or HPLC), identity (by IR and NMR), and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our customers in regulated industries.

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). Keep away from strong acids and incompatible organic solvents. Due to the reactive nature of the isocyano group, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability and to minimize moisture exposure.
