Quality Control

Our 2-Methyl-3-Propylbenzothiazolium Iodide is produced under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR for structural confirmation, and Karl Fischer titration for moisture content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment 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 a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
