Quality Control

Our 3-Bromo-2-Methylacrylonitrile is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC/GC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment, guaranteeing traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

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). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials.
