Quality Control

Our Dimethylammonium Cyanide is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, identity, and impurity profiles. Our quality systems are designed to meet the rigorous demands of GMP and ISO standards where applicable, ensuring reliability for critical synthesis applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C. Keep away from strong acids and incompatible materials.
