Quality Control

Every batch of Soman (CAS 96-64-0) is produced and handled under stringent, secure conditions to ensure the highest levels of purity and consistency. Our quality assurance protocol includes rigorous analytical testing via GC, GC-MS, and NMR to verify identity and quantify purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed, chemically compatible container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a dedicated, secure, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Containers must be kept upright and securely sealed to prevent leakage and pressure build-up. Strict access control and inventory management procedures are recommended.
