Quality Control

Our 1,2-Phenylenedioxydiacetonitrile is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC and GC analysis, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
