Quality Control

Every batch of Biurea, 1-(2-Chloroethyl)-6-Methyl- is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure identity, purity, and consistency through analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics is provided with each shipment to guarantee it meets your precise research or production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
