Quality Control

Our 1,3-Bis(2'-Hydroxyethyl)Uracil is produced under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets exacting specifications for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with each shipment. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and traceability.

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 sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product stability and performance.
