Quality Control

Our 2-Heptanethiol is produced and tested under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and impurity profiles. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and moisture ingress.
