Quality Control

Our Butylthiamine is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, assay, and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment. While not typically manufactured to a compendial monograph, production can be aligned with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) principles for pharmaceutical intermediates upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric humidity.
