Quality Control

Our Pyrazinecarbonitrile, 6-Amino- (9Ci) is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and purity, residual solvent analysis, and identity confirmation (IR, NMR). A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to exclude moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
