Quality Control

Our 2-Furancarbonyl Chloride, 5-(Chloromethyl)- (9Ci) is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at 2-8°C. Due to its hygroscopic and highly volatile nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition. Keep away from strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.
