Quality Control

Our Butanediol Dinitrate is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including assay, purity verification, and impurity profiling to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting HPLC purity, identity (IR, NMR), and specific impurity limits are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile and light-sensitive nature, recommended storage temperature is between 2°C and 8°C. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong reducing agents, acids, and bases.
