Quality Control

Our 2-Furanacetyl Bromide, 5-Methyl-α-Oxo- (9Ci) is manufactured under strict quality protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and GC-MS, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications for trace metals, residual solvents, and related substances, supporting cGMP and ISO 9001 standards for research and development use.

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 and moisture-sensitive nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from strong acids and organic solvents.
