Quality Control

Our 1,4-Butane Diisothiocyanate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistency, meeting the stringent requirements for research and industrial applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee supply reliability and product integrity.

Storage

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