Quality Control

Our 2-Methylthio-n-6-Isopentenyladenosine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results is provided to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccated conditions.
