Quality Control

Our 2,6-Dihydroxy-3-Nitrobenzonitrile is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and impurity profiling, to meet exacting customer specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with your quality requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
