Quality Control

Every batch of Ethane-D5-Thiol is produced and analyzed under strict quality protocols to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity, critical for sensitive analytical applications. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including comprehensive analysis by NMR, GC-MS, and IR spectroscopy. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (typically >98 atom % D), chemical purity, and other critical parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, this material should be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, well-ventilated place. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and heat sources.
