Quality Control

Our 2-Hydroxyethyl-2-Chloroethylsulphide is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high-purity standards required for research and synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment. We can support development projects with custom purity grades and analytical data packages upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
