Quality Control

Our n-(2-Furoyl)Alanine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request, providing full traceability and quality assurance for your critical projects.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect stability and handling properties. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
