Quality Control

Our 5,6-Dihydroxy-2-Methyl-Pyrimidine-4-Carboxylic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, residual solvents, and related substances is provided with each shipment. We support compliance with cGMP and ICH guidelines for pharmaceutical intermediates.

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 degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
