Quality Control

Our Picryl Azide is manufactured under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including purity assay and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its properties of being strictly light-sensitive, easily oxidized, and highly volatile, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials.
