Quality Control

Our 2-Cyano-3-Oxobutanethioamide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee it meets your specific research or production-grade requirements.

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 sensitivity to light and tendency for oxidation, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
