Quality Control

Our production of 2(3H)-Furanone, 3-[(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)Methylene]Dihydro- (9Ci) adheres to stringent quality management protocols. All batches undergo rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity, identity confirmation, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity (typically by HPLC), identity (by IR/NMR), and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your R&D and quality assurance requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its properties of being easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
