Quality Control

Our Tetracyanoethylene Oxide is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification by FT-IR and NMR, purity determination by HPLC, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed 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 nature, the container should be kept in secondary opaque packaging or in a dark storage cabinet. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
