Quality Control

Our 6-Chloro-5-Nitro-Pyridine-2-Carbaldehyde is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity, typically ≥97% (HPLC). Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for assay and purity, NMR for structural confirmation, and Karl Fischer titration for moisture content. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting all critical quality attributes. We support cGMP-compliant production for advanced pharmaceutical applications.

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 each use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
