Quality Control

Every batch of Pyrimidine, 4-(Chloromethyl)-6-Methyl- (6Ci) is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure high purity and consistency through advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, and NMR spectroscopy. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee it meets your specific research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed and under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage to prevent degradation.
