Quality Control

Our 1-Phospho-2,3-Diketo-5-S-Methylthiopentane is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch is characterized and tested to ensure identity, purity, and consistency suitable for research applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific batch results from analytical techniques such as NMR, HPLC, and mass spectrometry are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can degrade the product. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
