Quality Control

Our 2-Mercapto-6-Propylpyrimidin-4-Ol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed batch-specific results are provided to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage of bulk quantities and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
