Quality Control

Our 6-(Octadecylthio)Purine is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your specifications.

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 light-sensitive nature and propensity to be easily oxidized, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
