Quality Control

Our 3-Aminopropyl-N'-Methylisothiourea is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic methods for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed batch-specific results are available upon request.

Storage

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