Quality Control

Our production of Cyclopentaneacetonitrile, -α-,-α--Dimethyl-3-Oxo-, (R)- (9Ci) adheres to stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high enantiomeric purity. Each lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques, including chiral HPLC, to confirm identity and purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for chiral purity, chemical purity, and relevant impurities are provided with every shipment.

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 presence of nitrile and ketone functional groups, it should be stored separately from strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and strong bases.
