Quality Control

Our 3-(Carboxymethyl)Benzothiazolium Bromide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR/IR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

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 after use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
