Quality Control

Every batch of 3,5-Dimethylphenyl Chlorothioformate is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure high purity and consistency through advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, and NMR spectroscopy. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each 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 room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its moisture-sensitive (hygroscopic) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
