Quality Control

Our Acetonitrile (1,2-13C2) is manufactured under strict quality systems to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity for sensitive analytical applications. Each batch is characterized by advanced spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques, including NMR, GC-MS, and HPLC. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (typically ≥99 atom % 13C), chemical purity, and solvent residue profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and performance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
