Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Pyridinemethanol,3-Mercapto-(9Ci) is produced and controlled under a strict quality management system. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, and NMR to verify identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with your research or production standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
