Quality Control

Our α-Furil Dioxime is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high analytical purity. Each lot is tested against stringent in-house specifications, which typically include identity confirmation by FT-IR, purity assay by HPLC or titration, and control of key impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, open flames, and incompatible materials. Due to its light-sensitive nature, the container should be amber-colored or stored in a dark place.
