Quality Control

Our Ammonium 2,3-Dimercaptopropanesulphonate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay, purity profiling, and heavy metal screening, to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
