Quality Control

Our 2-Pentenenitrile, 2-Acetyl-4-Oxo- (9Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to the reactive nature of the functional groups, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability and to minimize potential degradation.
