Quality Control

Our n-Nitrosourea is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including purity assay and identification, to meet the stringent requirements of research and industrial applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all relevant specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee transparency and compliance with your project needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its properties of being strictly light-sensitive and easily oxidized, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry place, ideally at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). The container should be kept securely sealed to minimize exposure to moisture and air.
