If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

General description
Application
- Role of odorant binding protein C12 in the response of Tribolium castaneum to chemical agents.: This article explores the impact of BHT on insect biochemistry, specifically how it affects the binding affinity of odorant-binding proteins in pests, providing insights into developing more effective pest control strategies (Wang et al., 2024).
- A novel arylpiperazine derivative (LQFM181) protects against neurotoxicity induced by 3-nitropropionic acid in in vitro and in vivo models.: Research includes BHT as a comparative standard in studying neuroprotective agents, underscoring its role in biochemical pathways related to oxidative stress and neuroprotection (Campos et al., 2024).
- Simultaneous Determination of Fipronil, Permethrin and their Key Related Substances in a Topical Drug Product by a Single Stability Indicating High Performance Liquid Chromatography Method.: BHT is used as an internal standard to assess the stability and integrity of pharmaceutical products, demonstrating its utility in pharmaceutical analysis (Rathnasekara et al., 2024).
- Pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole fused spirooxindole-linked 1,2,3-triazoles as antioxidant agents: Exploring their utility in the development of antidiabetic drugs via inhibition of a-amylase and DPP4 activity.: This study utilizes BHT as a reference antioxidant to compare the efficacy of newly synthesized compounds, providing a benchmark in antioxidant research for diabetes treatment (Chahal et al., 2024).

How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?
1 answer-
Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
