Quality Control

Every batch of our Potassium Cyanate, [14C] is manufactured and tested under stringent quality protocols to ensure high chemical, radiochemical, and isotopic purity. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific activity, radiochemical purity (by HPLC or TLC), chemical purity, and solvent content are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at recommended temperatures (typically 2-8°C or as specified on the label). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the product should be handled under inert atmosphere or dry conditions when opening to prevent decomposition. Follow all local regulations for the storage of radioactive materials.
