Quality Control

Every batch of n-(2-Hydroxypropyl)-n-Nitrosourea is manufactured and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure it meets the high standards required for research applications. Our quality assurance includes rigorous identity confirmation, purity assessment, and impurity profiling using advanced analytical techniques. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your specifications.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
