Quality Control

Our 2-Thiouracil-5-Carboxylic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency for your R&D and production needs.

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 strong acids and incompatible materials. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be opaque or stored in dark conditions.
