Quality Control

Our Di-sec-Butyl Sulfide is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiles. Our quality commitment ensures the material meets the specifications required for research and industrial applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents. Due to its nature of being easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C.
