Quality Control

Our [5-(2-Bromo-Phenyl)-Furan-2-Yl]-Methanol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

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