Quality Control

Our 2-(Benzothiazol-2-Ylamino)-4-Methylsulfanyl-Butyric Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider using an inert atmosphere to minimize oxidation.
