Quality Control

Our 4-Pyridinecarboxamide,3-Mercapto-(9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and residual solvent analysis. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its property of being easily oxidized, long-term storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended to maintain stability and purity. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
