Quality Control

Our Difurazone is manufactured under a strict 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. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting all critical quality attributes. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our clients' regulatory compliance needs.

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). The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to minimize exposure to atmospheric humidity.
