Frequently Asked Questions

Two specifications are supplied: a reagent grade with a purity of not less than 98.5% (GC) intended for research and synthesis, and an industrial grade with the same purity limit that is also supplied against pharmaceutical requirements for pilot and production scale use. Custom purities can be discussed against a specification agreed in writing.

Every lot is released with a Certificate of Analysis reporting GC purity, water content and appearance. A Safety Data Sheet and Technical Data Sheet are available for download from the Product & Inquiry page, and lot-specific documents are provided with the commercial offer.

Reagent grade is supplied in 100 mL, 500 mL and 1 L bottles. Industrial grade is supplied in 5 L and 25 L containers, 200 L drums and IBC totes. Packaging is selected according to the route, quantity and destination.

Store sealed in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area away from oxidising agents and sources of ignition. Because the thiols oxidise slowly in air, opened containers should be blanketed with inert gas and used within the recommended period.

Specification adjustments such as tighter purity limits, water content or a specific colour range can be discussed. Final acceptance criteria are recorded in the supply agreement so both parties work against the same release specification.

The two adjacent thiol groups condense with carbonyl compounds to form 1,3-dithiolanes, cyclic dithioacetals that resist nucleophilic and basic conditions. The protecting group is later removed under mild oxidative or mercury-mediated conditions.

EDT displaces native long-chain ligands on the nanocrystal surface and binds through both sulfur donors. The short, rigid bidentate linkage improves charge transport between adjacent nanocrystals while maintaining colloid stability.

It acts as a scavenger in trifluoroacetic acid cleavage cocktails, intercepting reactive carbocations generated from protecting groups. This limits alkylation of sensitive residues such as tryptophan and methionine during global deprotection.

The soft sulfur donors bind soft metal ions such as mercury, silver and thallium with high affinity. EDT is therefore grafted onto solid supports and metal-organic frameworks to produce adsorbents for water treatment.

It is handled with standard inert-atmosphere glassware and glovebox techniques. Because it attacks some elastomers and generates strong odours, PTFE or glass components and effective ventilation are recommended.

Complete the quotation form on the Product & Inquiry page with the required grade, quantity and destination port. The form records your requirement and the commercial team follows up with a formal offer.

Enquiries are normally acknowledged within one business day, and detailed offers follow within 24 business hours for standard grades and packaging combinations.

Ex Works, FOB, CIF and CIP terms can be quoted. The correct term is confirmed in the offer according to the destination and the buyer's preferred logistics arrangement.

Yes. EDT is classified as a flammable liquid with acute toxicity hazards and is shipped under the appropriate UN packing group with the packaging and documentation required for the route.

A commercial invoice, packing list, Certificate of Analysis, Safety Data Sheet and the applicable transport documentation are provided with each shipment to support clearance at the destination.
