Quality Control

Our 2-Acetylthio-4'-Nitroacetophenone is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the specified 97% minimum purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is light-sensitive (store away from light) and easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon to prevent oxidation.
