Quality Control

Our 4,6-Dihydroxypyrimidine-2-Carboxylic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and industrial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
