Quality Control

Our 2,4-Pyrimidinediol, 5-Methyl- (9Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request, providing full traceability and batch-to-batch consistency for your critical applications.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product stability and handling.
