Quality Control

Our 2-(2-Fluorophenyl)-2-Oxoethyl Thiocyanate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and GC/MS for impurity profiling. We provide a detailed Certificate 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 a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from heat sources and incompatible materials.
