Quality Control

Our 6-Hydroxymethylpurine Riboside is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity determination and spectroscopic methods for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results is 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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container should be kept sealed in a desiccated environment to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition.
