Quality Control

Our 2-Hydroxypropyl Methanethiosulphonate is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and bases.
