3-MEC Powder (3-Methylethcathinone) is a synthetic research compound supplied in high-purity crystalline form for analytical, forensic, and chemical-reference applications. 3-MEC belongs to the cathinone class and is valued in laboratories studying structure–activity relationships (SAR) and comparative analytical profiling of substituted cathinones.
At Real Chem Store, we provide certified 3-MEC Powder manufactured under ISO 9001 and GMP-compliant conditions. Every batch is laboratory-verified for purity and molecular identity, ensuring consistent, reliable results for professional researchers worldwide.
What the Product Is
3-MEC (3-Methylethcathinone) is a research-grade stimulant analogue supplied solely for laboratory use. It is not intended for human or veterinary consumption. The compound is delivered as a fine crystalline powder with purity levels typically exceeding 99%, optimized for analytical instrumentation such as GC-MS, HPLC, and NMR.
How It Works in Research
Within controlled research environments, 3-MEC is commonly used to:
-
Examine chemical stability and degradation pathways.
-
Support comparative SAR studies among β-ketoamphetamines.
-
Develop and validate analytical detection methodologies.
-
Serve as a reference material in forensic chemistry.
Its molecular configuration allows researchers to explore the relationship between functional-group substitutions and analytical behavior without batch-to-batch variability.
Benefits and Advantages
-
≥ 99% analytical purity verified by independent laboratories.
-
Batch-to-batch consistency for reproducible analytical results.
-
