Quality Control

Our (4-Methyl-2-Methylsulfanyl-6-Oxo-1,6-Dihydro-Pyrimidin-5-Yl)-Acetic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and commercial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurities, and physical characteristics are available upon request.

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 to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
