Quality Control

Our 2-Furanethanethioyl Chloride, α-Oxo- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assessment and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from strong acids and incompatible materials.
