Quality Control

Our 5-Ethyl-2-Mercapto-6-Methylpyrimidin-4(3H)-One is manufactured under strict quality management systems. We offer material compliant with research and commercial grade specifications, with purity typically exceeding 97% (by HPLC). Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry place at 15-25°C. Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, the container should be flushed with inert gas after each opening to maintain product integrity. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
