Quality Control

Our sec-Butyl Isothiocyanate is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its highly volatile and hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept tightly sealed when not in use and stored at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
