Quality Control

Our S-(2-Hydroxy-5-Nitrobenzyl)-6-Thioinosine is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR, MS), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container should be kept tightly sealed in a desiccated environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere.
