Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Benzothiazoleethanethiol(7Ci,8Ci) is produced and tested under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and identity confirmation, to ensure compliance with industry standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
