Quality Control

Our 2,5-Dimethoxyphenethyl Isothiocyanate is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results are provided and 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, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
