Quality Control

Our 1-(2-Diethylaminoethyl)-5-Mercaptotetrazole is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification (IR, NMR), purity assay (HPLC), and impurity profiling to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

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