Quality Control

Our 2-Furanacetic Acid, 5-Formyltetrahydro-, cis- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity verification, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized and should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, and reducing agents.
