Quality Control

Our Xylyl Isothiocyanate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopic methods, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and highly volatile nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after use to minimize moisture uptake and evaporation. Keep away from strong bases and incompatible materials.
