Quality Control

Our production of 3-Pyridinecarbonitrile, 6-(1-Hydroxyethyl)- (9Ci) adheres to stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced techniques including HPLC, GC, and NMR to verify identity, potency, and impurity profiles. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment, ensuring full transparency and compliance with your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
