Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Phenyl-3-(p-Tolyl)Propiononitrile is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, and NMR to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality and regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling.
