Quality Control

Our 2-Picoline-6-Amino-4-Nitro-1-Oxide is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by FT-IR and NMR, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and high industry standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
