Quality Control

Our 2-Hydroxy-3-Methyl-5-Nitro-Benzonitrile is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for all shipments, ensuring compliance with your research and production specifications.

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 light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
