Quality Control

Our 2-Methyl-3-Hydroxy-4-(Mercaptomethyl)-5-Hydroxymethylpyridine Hydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed to prevent exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
