Quality Control

Our 2-Methylisothiouronium Chloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical and industrial applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
