Quality Control

Our production of 3-[(2-Mercapto-1-Methylpropyl)Thio]Butan-2-Ol, Monosodium Salt adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and identity confirmation, to ensure consistency and compliance with customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are provided and can be tailored to meet specific regulatory or internal quality requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent oxidation and moisture absorption. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
