Quality Control

Our 1-(2-Hydroxyethoxymethyl)-6-Azauracil is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
