Quality Control

Our Mono-Isoamyl2,3-Dimercaptosuccinate is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification by IR spectroscopy and purity determination by HPLC, to ensure it meets precise specifications for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting batch-specific results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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 area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its easily oxidized nature, minimize headspace and exposure to air after opening.
