Quality Control

Every batch of Oxiranecarbonitrile, 3-Ethyl-2-(Hydroxymethyl)- (9Ci) is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure consistency and purity for research and industrial use. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and identity confirmation, to meet the high standards required for synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation.
