Quality Control

Our 4-Isothiocyanatobenzoyl-Dl-Homoserine Lactone is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR, MS) for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccant.
