Quality Control

Our 2-Amino-3-Mercapto-1-Propanol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to minimize exposure to moisture and air. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
