Quality Control

Every batch of Ethanimidamide, 2-Mercapto-N,N,n-Trimethyl- (9Ci) is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the material meets the high-purity standards required for research and development applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is supplied with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, the container should be kept sealed and only opened in an inert environment for use.
