Quality Control

Our Gold (I)-T-Dodecylmercaptide is produced under controlled conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, identity, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to ensure it meets your research and production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. This material is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air, light, or moisture should be avoided to maintain stability.
