Quality Control

Our 2-Mercapto-5-Nitronicotinonitrile is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment. We are committed to meeting the stringent requirements of research and development applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and propensity for oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
