Quality Control

Our 1-Nitrobutane is manufactured under strict quality control 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 management system is designed to meet the expectations of industrial and research customers, ensuring reliable performance in your applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources, sparks, and open flame. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and highly volatile, the container must be kept tightly sealed and under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to maximize stability.
