Purity and quantity is $250 per sample (1 unit) and raw powder purity is $200 for 50 mg, with results in 3 to 5 business days. Send the material sealed and labeled, with the label claim and the form it contains.
No. The $250 test covers identity, purity and quantity by a chromatographic assay, with detection selected for the compound. Full testing to the USP Allyl Isothiocyanate monograph is available and quoted.
It is a small, volatile liquid with weak UV absorbance, so the lab uses a detection method suited to the compound. The test also shows other volatile sulfur compounds and solvents in the same run.
Yes. It reacts slowly with water and breaks down with heat and light, so older or poorly sealed samples can read low. Keep samples tightly closed and cool before shipping.
The main compound is the same either way. The minor volatiles in the profile can point to a natural or synthetic source, but that is an observation, not a confirmation of origin.
