Quality Control

Our 5-Hydroxymethyl Cytidine is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided, detailing specifications such as assay, identity, and impurity profiles. We support research and production needs with reliable, traceable materials.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
