Quality Control

Our 4-Chloro-2-(Methylthio)-5-Nitropyrimidine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
