Quality Control

Our 3-(6-Methyl-2,4-Dioxo-1,2,3,4-Tetrahydropyrimidin-5-Yl)Propanoic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity (typically ≥97% by HPLC), residual solvents, and other critical parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee it meets your specific R&D or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
