Quality Control

Our 2-Aminopyrimidine-4,6-Diol is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

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.
