Quality Control

Our Ethyl (Phenylthio)Acetate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC/HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our customers in regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong acids, organic solvents, and strong oxidizing agents. The container should be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and potential degradation.
