Quality Control

Our 3-Furancarboxaldehyde, 5-(1-Hydroxyethyl)- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. We offer material suitable for research and development purposes, with typical purity levels meeting the requirements for advanced synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with each batch to ensure traceability and compliance with your project specifications.

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 properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and highly volatile, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon and ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and degradation.
