Quality Control

Our Furan, 3-Chlorotetrahydro- is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed batch-specific results are provided and traceability is maintained. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our customers' regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its nature as a strong acid/organic solvent and high volatility, ensure containers are sealed and stored separately from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
