Quality Control

Our 4-(5-Formyl-Furan-2-Yl)-2-Hydroxy-Benzoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and development applications. We provide comprehensive analytical documentation, including HPLC chromatograms and NMR spectra, to support your project requirements. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available for every batch upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to handle and store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability, especially after opening the original container.
