Quality Control

Our 4,5-Dimethoxy-2-Mercaptobenzylamine Hydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and heavy metals, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and development applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your specifications.

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 hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent oxidation and absorption of moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
