Quality Control

Every batch of Cyanamide, [14C] is manufactured and analyzed under strict quality systems to ensure high chemical and radiochemical purity, meeting the exacting standards required for research. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific activity, purity (by HPLC), radiochemical purity, and solvent composition are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at recommended temperatures (typically 2-8°C or as specified on the label) in a designated, secure area for radioactive materials. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, containers should be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere if specified. Follow all local and international regulations for the storage and handling of radioactive substances.
