Quality Control

Our n-(2-Mercaptoethyl)-Acetamide Benzoate is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request, supporting compliance in regulated research and development environments.

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 easily oxidized nature, minimize exposure to air during handling. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
