Quality Control

Our 2-Azidoethanamine Hcl is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and FTIR, to confirm identity and purity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment, ensuring full 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 compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials.
