Quality Control

Our 2-Pentanone, 3-(Nitromethylene)- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay (by HPLC or GC), identity (by IR/NMR), and impurity profile is provided with every shipment to guarantee it meets your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to the nitromethylene group, it should be handled as a potential oxidizer and stored separately from reducing agents and strong bases.
