Quality Control

Our 1-(1-Hydroxyethyl)Cyclopropane-1-Carbonitrile is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay (by HPLC), impurity profile, and physical characteristics are provided with every shipment to guarantee it meets your research and development requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to exclude moisture. Store away from incompatible materials such as strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.
