Quality Control

Our Oxiranecarbonitrile, 2-(Hydroxymethyl)-3-(1-Methylethyl)- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and development applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and structural confirmation. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to the reactive nature of the epoxide and nitrile groups, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability and to minimize moisture uptake.
