Quality Control

Our 3-Furoyl Chloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay (HPLC), identity confirmation (IR, NMR), and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and reactive nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition. Keep away from strong bases, oxidizers, and sources of ignition.
