Quality Control

Our 3-(2-Mercaptoethyl)-6-Phenyluracil is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR). We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications for trace impurities, residual solvents, and assay results to ensure compliance with research and development requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at 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 of bulk quantities and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
