Quality Control

Our 1-(2-Furyl)-3-Butene-1,2-Diol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assessment and structural confirmation, to ensure consistency and compliance with customer specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
