Quality Control

Our 2-[4-(3,4-Dichlorobenzyloxy)]Phenylethyl Methanethiosulfonate is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research applications. Each lot is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles. We adhere to relevant industry standards for fine chemical intermediates, and custom synthesis to specific purity grades (e.g., >95%, >98%) is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation.
