Quality Control

Our 2-Pyridinemethanol, 6-Mercapto-, 1-Oxide (6Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled 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.
