Quality Control

Our 1,4-Diazidobutane is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay (HPLC), identification (IR, NMR), and impurity profiling, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are provided for every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). Due to its properties of being strictly light-sensitive and easily oxidized, it is recommended to store this material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) and minimize exposure to air and moisture. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials.
