Quality Control

Our 5-(3-Methyl-4-Nitro-Phenoxymethyl)-Furan-2-Carbaldehyde is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous 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 process chemistry. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

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 properties of being easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
