Quality Control

Our 3-(2,6-Dichlorophenyl)Propanenitrile is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability, although the product is stable at controlled room temperature for shorter periods. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture uptake and degradation.
