Quality Control

Our 4-Hydroxy-2-Nitrophenylisothiocyanate is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR and NMR for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and moisture. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases, amines, and oxidizing agents.
