Quality Control

Every batch of 4-(Biphen-4-Yl)-2-Cyanoacetamide is manufactured under a strict quality management system and undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Our standard R&D Grade material is characterized using advanced techniques including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, and we support custom purity requirements for specific project needs.

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 after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
