Quality Control

Our Ethyl 3-(Bicyclo[2.2.1]Hept-5-En-2-Yl)-2-Cyanoacrylate is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Production adheres to cGMP guidelines where applicable. Each lot is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles. We ensure compliance with relevant global regulatory frameworks, including REACH.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent polymerization and degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
