Quality Control

Every batch of 5-(4-Methyl-Pyrimidin-2-Ylsulfanyl)-Furan-2-Carbaldehyde is manufactured under a strict quality management system and undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Our standard grade meets a typical purity specification of ≥95% (by HPLC), with higher purity grades available. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results for assay, related substances, and residual solvents are provided and traceable to in-house standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability, especially after the original container has been opened.
