Quality Control

Our 5-Methylfuran-2-Carbonyl Chloride is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide full traceability and detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA) upon request, confirming compliance with your specific research or manufacturing requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic and highly volatile nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong bases, alcohols, and amines.
