Quality Control

Our production of 1-(3-Aminophenyl)-5-Mercaptotetrazole adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR for identification, and titration for assay confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, guaranteeing traceability and compliance with relevant industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation and to minimize moisture uptake.
