Quality Control

Our Uridine, 4',5'-Didehydro-2',5'-Dideoxy- is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency suitable for research and development. We provide comprehensive analytical data, including HPLC purity, identity confirmation (IR, NMR), and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is supplied with each batch to support your quality assurance requirements.

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.
