Quality Control

Our 3-Hydroxy-3-Phenylpropenedithioic Acid Methyl Ester is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to the potential sensitivity of the dithioate ester group, prolonged exposure to air and moisture should be minimized.
