Quality Control

Our Uridine 5-Oxyacetic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and pharmaceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment.

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 hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
