Quality Control

Our 4-Amino-6-Hydroxy-2-Mercapto-5-Nitrosopyrimidine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature, the container should be opaque or kept in dark conditions. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
