Quality Control

Our production of Benzenemethanol, 4-Nitro-, Radical Ion(1-) (9Ci) adheres to stringent internal quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research applications. Each lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques, including NMR, EPR (for radical confirmation), and HPLC. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and assay is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its nature as an easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and light-sensitive compound, this material should be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place, ideally at 2-8°C for long-term stability. Allow the sealed container to reach ambient temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
