Quality Control

Our p-Methyl-Cinnamoyl Azide CAS NO 24186-38-7 is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy for comprehensive characterization and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and specific tests is provided with each shipment, supporting compliance with research and cGMP guidelines for intermediate use.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at 2-8°C. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, minimize exposure to air, heat, and moisture. Keep away from sources of ignition, strong acids, and strong bases.
