Quality Control

Our 4-Hydroxy-Butyrimidic Acid Ethyl Ester is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy. We provide detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your internal specifications and cGMP guidelines where applicable.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed and may require storage under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.
