Quality Control

Our 2-Furancarbonyl Chloride, 5-Bromo- (9Ci) is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, identity, and impurity profiles. Our quality systems are designed to support cGMP and ISO standards for reliable integration into regulated synthesis workflows.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at 15-25°C. Due to its moisture-sensitive (hygroscopic) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent decomposition. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong bases, alcohols, and amines.
