Quality Control

Our 2-(Methylamino)Ethanethiol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopic methods, to ensure high purity and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We support cGMP and ISO 9001 standards for manufacturing and quality assurance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, the container should be kept tightly sealed and away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C.
