Quality Control

Every batch of 5-Acetoxymethyl-2-Furaldehyde-13C6 is manufactured and tested to meet exacting standards for isotopic purity and chemical identity. Our rigorous quality testing ensures compliance with the requirements for high-purity reference standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, detailing isotopic enrichment (typically ≥99 atom % 13C), chemical purity (by HPLC), and confirming structure via spectroscopic methods.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at 2-8°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to minimize oxidation. The material is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air, light, or elevated temperatures should be avoided to maintain stability and purity.
