Quality Control

Our 1-Hydroxynaphthalene-2-Carbonitrile is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each production lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and related substances is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture, which can affect product stability and performance.
