Quality Control

Our 4-(Nitrooxy)Butan-1-Ol is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, which includes specifications for assay, impurities, and other critical parameters. Our quality commitment aligns with cGMP principles where applicable, ensuring reliability for your research and production processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to moisture and air.
