Quality Control

Our 3-tert-Butyl-6-Methyluracil is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR for identification, and residual solvent analysis, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and development use. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) 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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect product stability and performance.
