Quality Control

Our 2-Furoyl Isothiocyanate is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for research and industrial synthesis. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, and NMR to verify identity and quantify purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled 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.
