Quality Control

Our 3-(1H-Imidazol-4-Yl)-Propionaldehyde is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and FTIR, to verify identity and purity against established specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical quality attributes are available upon request, supporting your regulatory and R&D requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
