Quality Control

Our 2,2'-Azobis(2-Amidinopropane) is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets high-grade specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation due to moisture absorption. Keep away from heat sources and incompatible materials.
