Quality Control

Our 2-Pyrrolidinethione, 1-(2-Mercaptoethyl)- is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to the presence of thiol and thione groups, this material may be sensitive to oxidation and moisture; it is recommended to handle and store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability.
