Quality Control

Our 3-Furancarbonyl Chloride, 2-(Chloromethyl)- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and GC analysis, to ensure high purity and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening. Keep away from strong acids and incompatible materials.
