Quality Control

Our 8-Mercaptoquinoline-3-Carboxylic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR for structural confirmation, and Karl Fischer titration for moisture content, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, guaranteeing traceability and consistent quality.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
