Quality Control

Our 5-[(4-Fluorophenoxy)Methyl]-2-Furaldehyde is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by NMR and IR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and scale-up activities. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment.

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 sensitivity, the container should be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) after opening to prevent oxidation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
