Quality Control

Our 4-(3-Cyanopyridin-2-Yl)Benzyl Alcohol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and production. 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, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
