Quality Control

Our 2-Ethenyl-5-Methyl-Furan is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are provided for every shipment. We are committed to meeting the stringent requirements of research and development applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to the reactive vinyl group, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability and to minimize potential polymerization.
