Quality Control

Our n-Cyano-n-(Hydroxymethyl)Guanidine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters are available for all shipments. We can support development projects with material tailored to specific purity requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
