Quality Control

Our Glycine, n-(Mercaptoacetyl)-, Methyl Ester (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets high-grade standards suitable for research and synthesis applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

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). Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and light-sensitive, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage and to minimize exposure to air and light during use.
