Quality Control

Our Benzenemethanol, A-(Nitromethyl)-, Sodium Salt is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We support cGMP standards for pharmaceutical applications.

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 under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent degradation. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
