Quality Control

Our 2-Furanacetyl Chloride, 3-Ethyl-α-Oxo- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR/IR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the exacting standards required for research and process chemistry. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay and impurity profiles.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic and highly volatile nature, store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Keep away from strong bases, oxidizers, and moisture.
