Quality Control

Our 2,3-Dimercapto-1-Propanol Tributyrate is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency and meets high-purity standards suitable for industrial and research applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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 sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
