Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Pentanone, 1-Diazo-1-Nitro- is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure the product meets high-purity standards suitable for research and industrial synthesis. Comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, is performed to verify identity and purity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials.
