Quality Control

Every batch of 2,4-Diamino-6-Chloromethylpteridine is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Our products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure they meet the exacting standards required for research and development applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

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