Quality Control

Our Tetramethylenebisthiocyanate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise specifications for industrial and research applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
