Quality Control

Our 4-Cyanophenethyl Methanesulfonate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure high chemical purity and identity confirmation. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing purity, impurity profiles, and physical data. Our quality commitment ensures the material meets the stringent requirements for research and cGMP-grade synthesis.

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). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and performance. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
