Quality Control

Our 4-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)-2-(4-Methylphenyl)-4-Oxobutanenitrile is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and process chemistry. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
