Quality Control

Our 2(3H)-Furanone,5-[(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)Methyl]Dihydro-(9Ci) is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep the container tightly sealed in a dry environment to minimize exposure to moisture.
