Quality Control

Our 6-Chloro-2-Benzothiazolecarboxylic Acid Ethyl Ester is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements of our global clientele. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting all critical quality attributes.

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 tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect product stability and performance.
