Quality Control

Our 2-Bromofuran is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to verify identity, potency, and impurity profiles. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. For customers with specific regulatory needs, we can support documentation for GMP, ICH Q7, and other relevant guidelines.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be kept in amber glass or opaque packaging. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere to maintain optimal purity.
