Quality Control

Our 2-Aminopurine Nitrate Salt is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR), and residual solvent analysis to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and development applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
