Quality Control

Our 2-(4-Cyano-Phenyl)Ethylamine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent degradation from moisture absorption and oxidation.
