Quality Control

Our production of 2-(2,4-Dichlorophenylthio)Acetic Acid adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical specifications are available upon request 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 area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
