Quality Control

Our Hydantoin-5-Acetyl Chloride, 95 is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the specified 95% minimum purity grade. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed batch-specific results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a cool, dry place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Store away from moisture, strong bases, and oxidizing agents.
