Quality Control

Our 1-(Ethylthio)Dodecane is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and other relevant methods, to verify identity, purity, and the absence of critical impurities. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and minimize evaporation.
