Quality Control

Our 2-Guanidino-2-Butanethiol Sulfate is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for research and development applications. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under dry conditions. For long-term storage, consider using an inert atmosphere to minimize potential oxidation.
