Quality Control

Our (R)-2-Heptyl Isocyanate is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure high enantiomeric purity and chemical consistency. Each batch is characterized by advanced analytical techniques including chiral HPLC, GC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, enantiomeric excess (ee), and impurity profile is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at 2-8°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) due to its moisture-sensitive and light-sensitive nature. Keep away from heat, open flames, and incompatible materials such as water, alcohols, amines, and strong bases.
