Quality Control

Our 2,6-Bis[Cyano(Phenyl)Methyl]Benzenecarbonitrile is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
