Quality Control

Our 9-Ethyl-3H-Purine-2,6-Dione is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and impurity profiling, to meet the exacting standards required for research and development. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and related substances is provided with every shipment. We support compliance with REACH and other global regulatory frameworks as applicable.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect stability and performance. Keep away from incompatible materials.
