Quality Control

Our Ethanimidamide, n-Cyano- is produced under stringent quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting batch-specific results for purity, moisture content, and other critical parameters.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept in a cool, dry place with minimal exposure to ambient humidity. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. The storage area should be well-ventilated and separate from incompatible materials.
