Quality Control

Our 5-[(Methylamino)Methyl]-2-Furanmethanol is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and purity, residual solvent analysis, and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment. We support compliance with cGMP and ICH guidelines for pharmaceutical intermediates, and can tailor specifications to meet specific project requirements.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect stability and handling properties. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
