Quality Control

Our 4,7,10,13-Tetraazahexadecanedinitrile is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key specifications such as assay, appearance, and moisture content.

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 prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and performance. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
