Quality Control

Our 1-(4-Methoxy-1-Naphthyl)-3-Methylurea is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container should be kept in a cool, dry place with minimal humidity fluctuation. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
