Quality Control

Every batch of Oxirane, 2-[(Methylthio)Methyl]-3-Propyl-, (2S-Cis)- (9Ci) is produced and analyzed under strict quality management systems. We ensure compliance with high-purity standards typical for pharmaceutical intermediates, with rigorous testing for identity, purity, and enantiomeric excess. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay (by GC/HPLC), chiral purity, and impurity profile is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
